![Esther writes, "D.C. was a scary place in 1953.... The newspapers had screaming headlines about Red atom spies, about Reds in the state department. They were filled with articles about people who got into trouble, who lost their jobs, lost their passports, or sometimes went to jail if they refused to cooperate with their inquisitors. Even the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union] instituted a loyalty oath to its members, weeding out those who had been Communists.... One story in the Washington Post was about a man who was under suspicion because... [he] owned hundreds of books and classical records. The issue was not even the content of the books... just the quantity."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x7am5sw5a3vcewsmfjt43kez/bafkreigz5z6cz3xc2hko7slsx3ye7ozspvkhtirw3zgcbzyqdyohigdita@jpeg)
