  Dr. Katz : Well, it was, it was the insecticides they were spraying the cranberry crop with. So for, maybe at most, two years, it was considered unsafe to eat cranberry sauce.

  Stanley : Yeah.

  Dr. Katz : Those were such dark years for me. Those also happened to coincide with the, with my parents being subpoenaed by the House of Unamerican Activities Committee.
