Sorry, no froth-and-spittle in that write-up: "Surprisingly, Greene actually admired her liberal anti-model [Baez] and went to see her in concert in the mid-sixties: "She was a wonderful artist, I thought...I'm not saying she was a Communist.

Could be that the world would be more pleasing to a Conservative mindset were there no advancements like printing presses. It sure seems they want to go back there sometimes.
