...cold, cruel prospect is that the free world is close to another big retreat before Communism. To pretend that the Communist diplomatic and military gains are insignificant would be the worst kind of self-deceit. The U.S. can gain its greatest strength and unity if it clearly recognizes that the Communists are being appallingly successful, clearly understands that there is not much leeway left for further retreat...

Much of what the Communists have wrought in China was begun before them by the revolution of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kaishek; the Communists simply stole the revolution by deceit and mutiny while the country struggled against Japan.

...Hall. Sample McCarthy extravagance: "The Democratic label is now the property of men who have been unwilling to recognize evil or who bent to whispered pleas from the lips of traitors . . . men and women who wear the political label stitched with the idiocy of a Truman, rotted by the deceit of an Acheson, corrupted by the Red slime of a White." Joe worked hard to make his audiences (mostly middle-aged and middle-class), local newspapers and local politicos completely McCarthy-conscious. He rarely mentioned the President, and he ignored the Administration's accomplishments, but carried on his guerrilla...
