"Mary McCarthy was a famous far leftwing journalist in the DC area who passed on to her reward in 2004."

Not Mary McGrory?

No, not McCrory. There really was a Mary McCarthy. By today's standards she'd probably be considered a tad conservative, but she was lionized by the Liberals.

This was in a time when there actually was an anti-communist left. Those days are passed.
