Tentacles & Toes. When Republican Leader William Knowland announced that Watkins wanted to make a few routine changes in the printer's copy of the committee report, McCarthy was on his toes, snarling objections.

In 1922 he got a commission to do the murals for a Russian nightclub, and his fiery red devils and blue Byzantine angels created a mild stir. Soon he was in demand as a designer and illustrator.

Finally, the University reluctantly guaranteed a small printer it would cover all costs if 2500 copies were not sold. The books, containing the talks by Arnold Toynbee Joseph Wood Crutch, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnam, and others, were thus finally printed and now have sold 25,000 copies. The Voice of America liked these same talks so much that it adopted...
