Ideas that are widespread — and wrong

JUST BECAUSE everybody believes something doesn’t make it true. And the more famous you are, the more likely the public will have wrong impressions of you — good or bad, and sometimes both. History is replete with figures who have been unfairly turned into villains or saints. As we have pointed out before, Sen. Joseph McCarthy is perhaps the most outstanding example of someone whose black reputation is utterly unwarranted. Yes, he went too far, but the idea that he was engaged in a witch hunt is also wrong. In the early 1950s, the U.S. government was, in fact, full of Soviet spies — spies who gave Joseph Stalin the atomic bomb, made it possible for him to start the Korean War, enabled his enslavement of millions in Eastern Europe, and almost brought the whole world to a nuclear disaster. However, the full scope of Stalin’s espionage wasn’t revealed until after the fall of the Soviet Union, and by that time, the public had made up its mind that McCarthy was the foremost bête noire of American history. Correcting that myth may take decades, if it ever happens at all. At the other end of the spectrum is President John Kennedy, who regularly shows up in public opinion polls as one of our country’s greatest presidents. His administration wasn’t devoid of accomplishments — he cut taxes to stimulate the economy and launched the space program — but it had its gigantic policy failures as well: The Bay of Pigs, of course, and a very paltry record on civil rights and civil liberties. And did you know that it was Kennedy who started the Vietnam War? Nevertheless, Kennedy remains much admired, if not idolized, chiefly because of his good looks and his charm, which is ironic, because his lapses of character were even greater than his fiascoes of foreign and domestic policy. Kennedy, we know now, was not only a serial and blatant adulterer, he even went so far as to prey on innocent White 2008 House interns. (See Mimi Alford’s 2009 book, “Once Upon a Secret.”) But will the “I told you we’re in a recession. Look, an empty parking space on Ocean Ave.” American public ever come to regard Kennedy as the sociopath he actually was?
