Eugene J. McCarthy
In the early years of his congressional career, Eugene McCarthy was forced to distinguish himself from the notorious senator who also bore his surname, Joseph McCarthy. During the tumultuous 1960s, Senator Eugene McCarthy had no problem being identified as a distinctive voice of conscience among the nation's political leaders. The documentary Eugene J. McCarthy sketches its subject's transition from hawkish liberal to dove in light of the failed …

An Antiwar Movement That Was Not A Peace Movement
From 1939 through 1945 millions of women belonging to the self‐styled“mothers' movement” crusaded against American involvement in World War II. The mothers were not pacifists who opposed all wars; rather, they believed the United States should fight the Soviet Union instead of Germany. Ironically, these reactionary women mixed appeals to the preservative love of mothers with anti‐Semitism, red‐baiting, and sympathy for Hitler. This rare movement …

Oral History, Biography, and Political Demagoguery
Oral history-the systematic collection, arrangement, and preservation of verbatim accounts and opinions of persons who were witnesses to or participants in events of interest to scholars-is an essential tool for researching biographies of twentieth-century figures for whom crucial written records are extremely limited. A case in point is my experience in preparing the biography of Gerald L. K. Smith (1898-1976), the noted Share-Our-Wealth discipl…

The Apotheosis of Huey Long
The largely favorable depiction of Huey P. Long established principally by the late Professor T. Harry Williams and other Long biographers is questionable. Long did less than he claimed, others did more, and what he did was not lasting and institutional but ephemeral and opportunistic
