<OT> Regarding McCarthyism.... a friend of my family was one of the rocket scientists that worked with Teller and some others at the time. This person is a fusion scientist. Anyway he says that there was this climate of fear surrounding the soviets obvious superior space technology. All the rockets we tried to send up exploded and were called "flopniks". Also there was the recent Rosenberg trial so a lot of actual spies existed. He said the scientific community really believed that the Russians were going to use these rockets to bomb us from space or the moon. Of course this sounds crazy now but I have to believe him. So this climate of fear gave birth to McCarthyism... in fact McCarthy was just one opportunistic politian and that was it. It sounds like you agree with his assessment? Michelle
