I wrote a piece for @TheAtlantic about the 1957 film A Face In the Crowd and what Director Elia Kazan and screenwriter Budd Schulberg got right about politicians and mass media — and what they missed theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
2/ One of the thrills of researching this piece was diving into the Budd Schulberg papers in the Rauner special collections at the @dartmouth library — thank you to them for working with me during this trying time of COVID-19!
3/ (spoiler alert) The film may be best know for its climax but Kazan and Schulberg struggled to come up with that ending. In the short story, Rhodes trips on the stairs and dies. In early versions of the screenplay, he takes his own life. But then Kazan had an idea:

White House officials believe POTUS was infected at the event for Judge Barrett on Saturday Sept 26.

They will not say when POTUS last tested negative, raising questions as to whether he was tested at all between infection and the debate Tuesday Sept 29.

This is important...
2/ NYT reporter @shearm believes he got infected Sept 26 either at the WH (required to go to get a COVID test bc he was traveling with the POTUS) or on Air Force One with POTUS the night of Sat. Sept 26.

Did POTUS test negative that day? WH won’t say.

3/ The next day, Sunday Sept 27, POTUS briefed reporters in the Briefing Room and hosted Gold Star families in an event *with no masks or social distancing required.*

Did he test negative before meeting these families?

WH won’t say.
