...public read the evidence in the Hiss case and other revelations made around that time, it did not think that all the accusations about Communism were nonsense. It expected some housecleaning-or at least an official admission that the house had been a bit dirty. Truman stubbornly continued to resist such suggestions. When Acheson made his smug statement on Hiss, he set up the pins for McCarthy...
...troubled nation a stable government and the West a good friend. But to do this, he has had to conciliate almost all factions (save the Communists, whom he fought uncompromisingly all the time).
