The search is already distorted by naming it the "McCarthyist" period.
The Red Hunt was well underway before McCarthy intervened, and he
_never_ was the primary party in that Red Hunt. The more accurate label
would be the "Truman Era," because it was his Administration that
launched it and developed or encouraged its most vicious aspects.

It's asthough the period from 1939-45 should be called "The Great Audie
Murphy War." McCarthy was that small a bump in the Great Red Hunt.
