    • 1964, Don Robertson, A Flag Full of Stars, New York, N. Y.: G. P. Putnam's Sons, page 474:
      “But he’s blacklisted.” ¶ “You can unblacklist him. You can denazify him, or whatever the hell it’s called. All you have to do is tell the worid that he never was a commie. Which he never was. You won’t even, for a change, have to lie.”
