Like her, he grew up in New York, joined the Young Communist League in college. After he and Helen got married, they drove across the country to start a new life in Hollywood. Al dreamed of becoming a screenwriter. But his timing was bad.
SPEAKER_05: You're on the verge of being hired as a screenwriter and you get drafted. Right. What happens then? So my draft board was the only one in Los Angeles that sent people out of Los Angeles for the physical. They put me in a bus, sent me to Fresno with a group of others from that draft board for my physical. And then back, I mean, it was really insane. And then when I went into the Army, I stationed at Culver City at what was familiarly known as Fort Roach for a year and a half. You know about Fort Roach, I assume? Hal Roach Studios. It was the Hal Roach Studios that were taken over by the government for the first motion picture unit.
SPEAKER_02: The first motion picture unit was part of the Army Air Forces during the Second World War. They made training films and newsreels.
SPEAKER_06: She was a B-29, the Superfort, with 2200 horsepower in each of four engines, with a fuel capacity equal to that of a railroad tank car. A tail that climbed two stories into the air, a body longer than a Corvette.
SPEAKER_02: Avid listeners of revisionist history may not just recognize that voice, but that very clip. Ronald Reagan narrated many of these films. Red-loving Al Levitt and red-baiting Ronald Reagan were actually co-workers.
SPEAKER_05: Every day for a year and a half, I would see Ronald Reagan, then called Reagan, who arrived at the post. He arrived there before I did, but he arrived from a cavalry outfit, wearing jodhpurs and a campaign hat, and nobody could take him seriously from then on. He was laughingstock.

SPEAKER_04: With millions of books on Amazon, there's a reading feeling for everyone. For example, Juan's. Ahh. As he drifts away to Nirvana after only the first chapter. Is different to Maya's. Ahh. When she discovered the narrator was, in fact, the evil twin. Which is also different to Noah's. Aww. Anytime the cute cyberpunk is mentioned, even though in reality he'd be totally out of his league. From two to Amazon books, that reading feeling awaits.
