...Communism." Nixon failed to point out that on most of these votes Marcantonia was merely going along with the Democratic majority, and that on a key issue like Nixon's vote against economic aid to Korea five months before the attack, he had himself joined the isolationists and Marcantonio. Nixon's smear campaigns of 1946 and 1950 hardly jibe with the President's own record in fighting McCarthyism...

Tough, fiery little Vito fought his way up from East Side poverty, hung on to the fluttering coattails of Fiorello La Guardia, succeeded him in Congress in 1934 on a Republican-City Fusion ticket. In his district, Vito was an indefatigable favordoer; in Washington, a slavish follower of the Communist Party line.
