...ethical questions, her unfortunate embrace of an Arafat. Most recently, her campaign spokesman loudly denounced presumed rival Rudy Giuliani as "shameless" for starring in I Love New York-type ads, sponsored by the tourist bureau. Problem is, they aren't taxpayer financed, and it drew attention to her soft-money donations (more than $300,000 from corporate donors and wealthy private citizens) and her own blurring of the lines between official and campaign business.

In Blitzstein's reading of the social climate, virtuous girls were compelled to sell their bodies and young men forced to sweat it out in factories while the fat cats leaned back and watched their money grow. Orson Welles (Angus MacFadyen) directed the musical under the aegis of the Federal Theater Project, a government initiative intended to provide work and keep culture going in rough times. But anything approaching Blitzstein's socialist sentiment wasn't welcome as the Red Scare heated up and suspicious eyes turned...
