...muscles working nervously as he paused in midsentence to grope for words, Walker assailed, as being soft on Communism, a whole Who's Who in America: Dwight Eisenhower, Eleanor Roosevelt, Assistant Defense Secretary Arthur Sylvester, USIA Director Edward R. Murrow, Commentators Walter Cronkite Eric Sevareid, Writers John Gunther, Max Lerner, Joseph Barnes, and Harry and Bonaro Overstreet.
