    • Abstract:
      This article presents views of authors on various social problems. Ernest Hemingway, author of Death in the Afternoon, said today he would fight for the bull-fighters against Mexico even if it meant going out into the streets and shooting Mexicans. John Steinbeck, author of Cannery Row, said today he would fight for his back-alley characters against the East even if it meant going out into the streets and shooting Eastern dieticians. Tennessee Williams, author of A Streetcar Named Desire, said today he would fight for Southern belles against brutish Northerners even if it meant going out into the streets and shooting Poles.
