HERE WAS A RASH of extreme rightism in the Spring of 1961, especially virulent in Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Houston, and a few midwestern and northeastern communities where that sort of thing is endemic. By November it had assumed the shape of a national epidemic and had aroused the attention of President Kennedy as well as Messrs. Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Brown and other moderate statesmen. Columnists and reporters of the stamp of Lippmann, Barth, Sevareid, Gerald Johnson and a score of others found this phenomenon deserving their concern. Even those journals normally regarded as conservative reviewed this situation with unfeigned disapproval. I shall consider the movement with respect to what it is, what it does
