...Rising Furor. "We're not angels," Schwarz says. "We haven't right wings, left wings, any wings." For those critics viscerally disposed to dislike his "Crusade," but not disposed to study it, Schwarz does not make things easy. He has not uttered any simple, memorable piece of nonsense, like Robert Welch's statement that Eisenhower was a Communist dupe. The Schwarz Crusade proceeds right out in the open without any of the conspiratorial folderol of Welch's Birchites...
...weeks before Oakland's Auditorium Theater opened its doors on the first Crusade session there, the Bay Area was in furor. The San Francisco Chronicle denounced Schwarz as a phantom hunter; the Oakland Tribune, whose editor, former Senator William Knowland, is a Schwarz admirer ("Dr. Schwarz is very intelligent and sincere"), backed the Crusade.

When Schwarz critics protested, the mayor of Fairfax denied that he had ever signed the proclamation, the mayor of San Jose said that...
Still flushing from the furor over its rejection of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Carl T. Rowan, a Negro, Washington's Cosmos Club voted overwhelmingly to end its segregationist policies.

Jones's choice of words stirred a furor in The Netherlands, where a high government official was quoted as describing him as ''Sukarno's court jester." There were questions in Parliament, and Foreign Minister Joseph Luns expressed his government's "displeasure" with the U.S. Howard Jones insisted that Merdeka "is used almost the same...
...furor in New York has hardly been noticed in Harvard. No faculty members have placed ads in the New York Times or circulated petitions of protest among their colleagues. Perhaps they have been too busy worrying about their research, their students, Cubs or bomb shelters to take an active part in an academic freedom controversy. Or perhaps, having observed the indifference with which Black Muslim, Communist, and National Review speakers have been received at Harvard, they dont think the issue is worth the trouble...
