• The Brave & the Blacklisted

Screenwriter and novelist Dalton Trumbo was literally a man of letters. His correspondence chronicled his life and his relationships with relatives, friends, enemies, and business associates. Trumbo kept a carbon copy of each letter he wrote and eventually donated them to the University of Wisconsin and the University of California at Los Angeles. His son, writer Christopher Trumbo, used many of his father's letters in his play Trumbo: Red, White and Blacklisted, which opens at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 2, at The Screen. Christopher plans to attend the performance on March 4 and to answer questions afterward.

A congressionally mandated commission has blacklisted Nigeria as one of the world's worst abusers of religious freedom, in a controversial decision made with dissent from at least one of the panel's members. The ranking is linked to the government's role in religious discrimination and retribution in the large West African country. Although official policies do not encourage or promote such actions, the commission faults the authorities for failing to prevent violence along religious lines.
