Clooney's Murrow

[allegorical oracle]

12. Like you, I recall those times. As a kid home from school in the afternoons, my mom would

have the black and white TV McCarthy hearings on as she started preparing supper.

Watched the film version and now this stage version. Both were very good. The only minor discrepancy I noted was the difference in voice. Murrow had a stern, and deeper voice than Clooney and spoke with a bit more enunciation.

Younger viewers may not realize it, but HUAC -- The House on UnAmerican Activities Committee was active through at least the mid-1960s. Can recall a professor at one of the local universities being summarily fired for teaching "Communism" in his classes. (He was liberal, but scarcely a full-blown Commie.)
