Kendal work for the government and at the time they were very interested between Hollywood and the communist party. There was reported that communism was being pervasive in Hollywood. It was Kendall job to find out who had communist support and reported them to Mr. Anderson. Communism was the focus of the American fears and hatred. They were afraid that Hollywood was plotting to overthrow the government. Like his friends would ever do that. Thought Kendall.

All his friends wanted to do was party and have a good time. "Live in the moment" was George motto. Frank just wanted to dance with the ladies. Bob was the joker. He was always getting a laugh out of you. To think that his friends were communist sympathizer was laughable.
