Spanky is a remake of the 1926 silent entry Uncle Tom's Uncle. Bobby Mallon appeared in both films. On the syndicated television print, 12 minutes of this short, which are the scenes of Uncle Tom's Cabin, were edited out in 1971 making the film only nine minutes long. This was due to material deemed racially insensitive toward African Americans, as the play starts with a number of the children in blackface, and it includes Stymie getting horsewhipped by the slavemaster.

Thornton was perhaps twice married: possibly firstly to Alicia Thornton, so- called, thought by Charles Fothergill to be his mistress. She was the jockey, riding side-saddle, in two challenges of 1804–5, on which Thornton placed large bets, and which made him notorious. In the first, of 1804, at Knavesmire over four miles and associated with the York race meeting, Alicia rode Thornton's horse Vinigrillo, against a Captain T. Flint who was her brother- in-law, and lost. For the following year's York meeting Alicia rode against Frank Buckle, and won; but Thornton was horsewhipped by Flint, after refusing to honour the bet of 1000 guineas he had made on the 1804 race.

Tensions around the press got so high that a month after Jones lost the libel suit, her son Charles broke into the home of Dr. Joseph H. Raymond, the former Brooklyn Health Commissioner and editor of the Brooklyn Medical Journal. Charles dragged the older man from his bed and horsewhipped him when he refused to retract a negative additional that had just been published by the Journal.

In 1981 she joined Maclean's as a senior writer, and in 1982 took a leave of absence to cover the 1982 Lebanon War from Lebanon, Israel and the West Bank. In 1983 McQuaig wrote a two-part piece for Maclean's with its then-assistant business editor Ian Austen investigating whether Canadian financier Conrad Black had tried to inappropriately influence the Attorney General of Ontario to stop an investigation into his attempted takeover of Ohio-based Hanna Mining Company. Years later, Black described McQuaig in his Toronto Sun column as a "weedy and not very bright leftist reporter" who writes "sophomoric, soporiferous left-wing books", and told host Peter Gzowski on CBC Radio that McQuaig deserved to be "horsewhipped". Later McQuaig was retained as a freelance columnist for Black's National Post newspaper.
