Sam pravi, da je bilo zanj najpomembnejše obdobje izobraževanja obiskovanje Gimnazije Poljane.

UpstreamBlack Scare / Red Scare with Charisse Burden-StellyThe Red Scare — perhaps most well known through the era of McCarthyism that dominated the social, political, and legal spheres of the U.S. in the 1950s — is actually much more than just a brief window of time where communists in the United States were vilified, criminalized, and blacklisted. The Red Scare is actually much more pervasive and longstanding, originating decades before McCarthyism and stretching well into the present.
