	Distribution of the SAG info was not available
widely. The people brought before HUAC were publicly
humiliated but the informer who provided the committee
with inside information was kept out of the spotlight.
	And his Father-In-Law advised him to switch to
the Republican Party in order to advance in politics so
he was clearly demonstrating his adherence to wholly
capitalist ideals, aka profit for the wealthy. So they
never called him a fascist but an Anti-Communist leader
as he rose to power. Like Trump he was a law breaker but
had much better makeup. That was the opinion of my mother
who worked at the Sutter Club in Sacramento and was a
waitress serving Reagan his Lunch while he was Governor
of California.  Reagan was worried about unpopularity
and had sturdy bodyguards who were not invited to eat
with him. So either he was classist or taking his security
very seriously. My mom was a Union worker and thought
his behavior very bad in regards to the bodyguards.

We live in a totally different world in regard to
politicians and their need for security than the
one in the 1940s and 1950s into the 1960s. We
considered the murder of JFK an anomaly but these
days it seems to be upsetting only to the press.
