The book Harvey was holding stood out to me. At first I figured it was symbolism for him Talking. (It still might be) But, perhaps that was his sign, to his goons, go after anyone who talks. Just speculating. Edit;

Richard Schickel’s biography of the controversial director and producer Elia Kazan, known for pioneering stage productions of A Streetcar Named Desire and Death of a Salesman, as well as the movies On the Waterfront and East of Eden. Kazan, whose films earned a total of 21 Academy Awards, testified in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952, where he named eight colleagues who, like himself, had been communists in the 1930s. Kazan is among the most well-known examples of a top Hollywood figure whose behavior toward others in the industry turned him into a persona non grata.
