Affair with Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. and impact on career

Leded edited to remove suggestion that her career faltered because of her "a scandalous affair with the married preacher and politician Adam Clayton Powell, Jr." While that may be the case, there isn't sufficient explanation in the article itself. At the same time, other research^[1] suggests her career was hit by her testimony at the HUAC. If connection between career and affair is in fact accurate and important, recommend boosting authority of this claim with additional verification and citation.

“Nervous breakdown”

It’s not a health problem, but an emotional one. So, someone does not necessarily need to return to health. Nicmart (talk) 00:59, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nicmart, health can be physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, mental. I see no problem here. Elizium23 (talk) 03:45, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Health is literally a physical phenomenon. In all other respects it is metaphorical. If one is said to have a “healthy liver,” it refers to a literal entity. If one is said to have a “healthy outlook,” or “healthy sex drive,” it is an opinion about what is an appropriate viewpoint or behavior. In this case the statement assumes that a particular state of mind is appropriate since there is no demonstrable physical disorder. It is a metaphorical impression; an opinion. Wikipedia entries are not supposed to consist of opinions or metaphorical assessments. If someone wrote that a subject was “sexually healthy” because he was heterosexual, would that not be obviously both metaphorical and opinion? Same difference. Metaphorical health and disease are not actual things. Nicmart (talk) 19:56, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I should add that “nervous breakdown” is also metaphorical as if does not manifest as any actual disease of the nervous system. Nicmart (talk) 19:58, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
