Ken and Joyce: Together Again

George quoted from a review:

devotees of the Little Tramp to learn that the man who created this revered image was the same man who coerced at least two of his impossibly young paramours into aborting his children; who, incredibly rich yet a hard-core skinflint, left his long-time collaborators with next to nothing for their years of catering to his every black mood and wild caprice; who, enjoying the love of millions of Americans, felt absolutely no loyalty to this country and had nothing but contempt for his public; and who, having portrayed endless affection for little Jackie Coogan in The Kid (1921), would prove a harsh and distant taskmaster with his own children when he at last found it convenient to have them.

George, how would you like to be sued for slander?

I would like to see you prove that the three of us have criticized Milton's book 'for political reasons.' Like Jim, we have criticized it because it is a bad book

<<George, how would you like to be sued for slander?

The dash and 'often' were intended to distance you from the 'political' comment.

But I don't see how you could miss the shrill tone of her discussion of Chaplin's politics. This betrays her political investment in the biographical project much more clearly than any explicit statement she might make
