Again this year the public's consciousness has been redirected to all this shameless business with the appearance of Lillian Hellman's memoir Scoundrel Time (on the best-seller list for eight weeks now), which tells the story of her own grilling by HUAC in 1952.

"One moment," Joyce writes, "I see you like a virgin or madonna; the next moment I see you shameless, insolent, half naked and obscene...
