m.s said:I don't know how a 1950's US headline would read exactly, but maybe something like "US archaeologist cleared from communist suspicion" could do the trick.
Thing is m.s, the footage of Laserschwert's (half-folded) newspaper is very brief and 'subtle' on the desk, and not in 'close-up', so any wording would need to be a short 'soundbite' in bold letters to even register properly.
I think there's too much wording in your example for it to work, unless Laserschwert says otherwise. So something like
DR. JONES
CLEARED!
or
DR. JONES
IN CLEAR!
or
LOCAL
LECTURER
CLEARED!
or
HERO
IS
CLEARED!
would be more along the lines of what would be noticeable in the brief shot, I think.
What's your take on this Laser, where amount of wording is concerned?
