Thread Name: McCarthyism ... were you there?
Subject: RE: McCarthyism ... were you there?
Hello All, I was one of thoughs born in 1950. There seem to be a few of us around!!! WHat I do remember is the passion , anger, and outrage Arther Miller had while talking of his time before the commity.I remember that from 1955 56 / 60. The Calder family had a wonderful chrismas party every Chrismas Eve and it was a time of celabration but also for clearing the air on wounds taken in the defence of Liberalisum.I guess everyone knows the Crusable was Miller's venting from the insanity of Mcarthy but it is even more meaningful with the memory of fear I still see in his face discribing the night mare . THe memory of that kind of fear stays with a small kid when he sees a funny ,kind man look realy scared. I hope the Crusable helped him.. All the best , GUy<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>><>><><><>
