In a 1975 study prepared for the President's Committee on Mental Retardation, Monroe Price and Robert Burt, professors at the U.C.L.A. and University of Michigan law schools, respectively, declared, "We are not too far removed, in time or ideology, from Justice Holmes and Buck v. Bell." People were "too sophisticated to talk eugenics, at least out loud," the professors noted, and they continued, "The language of 'fiscal responsibility' and 'parenting environment' [makes] a more appealing case than the rhetoric of 'wards of the state' and 'menace to society.'"¹⁸

Burt, "Sterilization, State Action, and the Concept of Consent", in The Mentally Retarded Citizen and the Law (Free Press, 1976), p. 74. Julius Paul, a professor of political science at the State University of New York in Fredonia, noted in 1970 that the trend in sterilization was not overtly eugenic. Nevertheless, it marked a return to the early twentieth century's punitive attack against illegitimacy, public welfare, and the "underprivileged", and to "the same economic, racial and moral overtones that were advanced in the days of the extreme hereditarians."

my feelings on like, nedbert is that they could never get to the stavos point of actual fucking, like even with a massive amount of modern day therapy, i think both of them would approach ~being gay~ as like, queerness is something you Do not something you Are and i don’t think either of them could ever recognize that what they feel is attraction to another man let alone acting on that feeling. whereas imo stannis is very aware of how he’s Not A Real Man and i think resents renly for being just a paragon of westerosi masculinity while also Doing Gayness & davos is imo aware that his feelings for stannis Are More Than Normal but has rationalized this as devotion to His King in a similar way to Loras’ feelings about Renly being The True King and also ya kno, exactly like Ned’s own devotion to Robert (the fact that ALL THREE OF THOSE FAILURES got themselves dedicated husbands despite being objectively terrible picks to be kings?? god!!)

so like for some characters it’s like are they gay? that’s their business not mine, that’s between robert and the light of the seven okay if ned wants to come out to catelyn that’s between them that’s a private marriage and it’s not my business!!

Burt Lancaster made his film debut #OnThisDay in 1946 with the world premiere of Robert Siodmak’s TENSE! TAUT! TERRFIFIC! masterpiece THE KILLERS in New York City. This also launched the career of Ava Gardner with her stunning, sultry Kitty Collins. And the always great Edmond O’Brien.

Burt Lancaster & Ava Gardner in a portrait for "The Killers", 1946

The Killers is a 1946 American film noir starring Burt Lancaster (in his film debut), Ava Gardner, Edmond O'Brien, and Sam Levene. Based in part on the 1927 short story of the same name by Ernest Hemingway, it focuses on an insurance detective's investigation into the execution by two professional killers of a former boxer who was unresistant to his own murder. Directed by Robert Siodmak, it featured an uncredited John Huston and Richard Brooks co-writing the screenplay, which was credited to Anthony Veiller. As in many film noir, it is mostly told in flashback.

Released in August 1946, The Killers was a critical success, earning four Academy Award nominations, including for Best Director and Best Film Editing.

Hemingway, who was habitually disgusted with how Hollywood distorted his thematic intentions, was an open admirer of the film.

In 2008, The Killers was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
