The McCarthy Story Third Of A Series
In early 1947 Senator Joseph McCarthy clashed with Charles Tobey over sugar rationing and soon targeted George Marshall. The series traces McCarthy's battles with Baldwin Tydings Benton Tobey and Smith, his 1950 Communist charge on the State Department, and a 1951 expulsion probe defied by McCarthy while Benton pressed charges of deceit. The piece covers his rise and the backlash among colleagues, with party tensions shaping Senate investigations and rival campaigns.
