Death of Sen. Joseph McCarthy Ends Turbulent Era
Wisconsin Republican senator Joseph R. McCarthy died at 47 from acute liver inflammation after a Bethesda hospital stay. His death reduces the Senate GOP to 46 seats with a fall election likely this fall. Once a dominant anti-Communist figure, his career ended after the Army hearings and a censure vote. Leaders like Eisenhower and Truman expressed sympathy and regret as old feuds faded.
