We are talking about the Red Scare years, in which Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy accused many members of the federal government, the US military and people from Hollywood to have ties with Communists. His political persecution reached members of the film industry that were imprisoned for being suspects of having ties with Communists and could include Communist ideas on film.

Was Suleiman actually magnificent?
klio [65]
For the Turks and the Muslim world, he might have been a great Sultan. He was not an enlightened Renaissance monarch, as depicted in the Turkish soap opera, Suleyman the Magnificent, of course, but a great warrior and administrator he was. A bit rough around the edges, who treated foreign ambassadors like hostages... See Bousebacq's (Holy Roman Imperial Ambassador)  memoirs in which he described the petty chicanery he was subjected to by the Sultan. Hope this infomation will help you a lot.
