I'm awarding this article GA status. Congratulations on producing a fine article.

Whilst it does not pertain directly to the article, I was somewhat surprised by the statement (and red link): The Hollywood Writers Mobilization Against the War, a body to organize writers for the effort in World War II. The title "The Hollywood Writers Mobilization Against the War" seems to be a direct contradiction of the explantion "a body to organize writers for the effort in World War II", but as that article does not exist I can't check it.

Lede needs work

The lede is WAY too much. Much of it is repetition of what comes later. Plus, it is chronologically perverse, starting off in 1949 then jumping back to the 1930s; it seems to be a lede that has its own lede. People who are far better known and had a far greater influence on the world than Rossen don't merit a lede that's anything like as detailed as this one is. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 02:36, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
