Thanks, I didn't know about JFK.

William F Buckley and McCarthy were friends.

Also, Shortly after McCarthy's death, The John Birch Society moved their headquarters from Maine to Appleton, Wisconsin, McCarthy's hometown. Did he leave them something in his will?

One of the best books ever written:

Witness, by Whittaker Chambers.
