The Grapes of Mcgrath: the Supreme Court and the Attorney General's
The Grapes of McGrath: The Supreme Court and the Attorney General’s List of Subversive Organizations in Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee v. McGrath (1951) ROBERT JUSTIN GOLDSTEIN∗ The so-called Attorney General’s List of Subversive Organizations (AGLOSO) was one of the most central and widely publicized aspects of the post–World War II Red Scare, which has popularly—if inaccurately—become known as “McCarthyism.” Like many other elements of the Red Scare, the AGLOSO in fact predated the emergence of Senator Joseph McCarthy on the national political red-hunting scene. It originated in President Harry Truman’s Executive Order 9835 of March 21, 1947, which required all federal civil-service employees to be screened for “loyalty” and specified that one criterion to be used in determinations that “reasonable grounds exist for belief that the person involved is disloyal” would be a finding of “membership in, affiliation with or sympathetic association” with any organization determined by the Attorney General to be “totalitarian, Fascist, Communist, or subversive” or advocating or approving the forceful denial of constitutional rights to other persons or seeking “to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means.”1 Beginning in late 1947, the federal government began publishing AGLOSO lists, which ultimately reached almost 300 organizations, without offering the targeted groups either hearings, specific charges, or advance notice. This led Washington Post editorial writer Alan Barth to term the Attorney General’s AGLOSO mandate “perhaps the most arbitrary and far-reaching power ever exercised by a THE GRAPES OF McGRATH 69 In 1947, President Harry Truman mandated that federal civil-service employees be screened for loyalty, with one consideration their membership in, affiliation with or sympathetic association; with organizations deter- mined by the Attorney General to be Communist, Fascist, totalitarian, or subversive. -
The Rearguard of Freedom: the John Birch Society and the Development
The Rearguard of Freedom: The John Birch Society and the Development of Modern Conservatism in the United States, 1958-1968 by Bart Verhoeven, MA (English, American Studies), BA (English and Italian Languages) Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts July 2015 Abstract This thesis aims to investigate the role of the anti-communist John Birch Society within the greater American conservative field. More specifically, it focuses on the period from the Society's inception in 1958 to the beginning of its relative decline in significance, which can be situated after the first election of Richard M. Nixon as president in 1968. The main focus of the thesis lies on challenging more traditional classifications of the JBS as an extremist outcast divorced from the American political mainstream, and argues that through their innovative organizational methods, national presence, and capacity to link up a variety of domestic and international affairs to an overarching conspiratorial narrative, the Birchers were able to tap into a new and powerful force of largely white suburban conservatives and contribute significantly to the growth and development of the post-war New Right. For this purpose, the research interrogates the established scholarship and draws upon key primary source material, including official publications, internal communications and the private correspondence of founder and chairman Robert Welch as well as other prominent members. Acknowledgments The process of writing a PhD dissertation seems none too dissimilar from a loving marriage. It is a continuous and emotionally taxing struggle that leaves the individual's ego in constant peril, subjugates mind and soul to an incessant interplay between intense passion and grinding routine, and in most cases should not drag on for over four years. -

A LAWYER IN CRISIS TIMES: JOSEPH L. RAUH, JR., THE LOYALTY-SECURITY PROGRAM, AND THE DEFENSE OF CIVIL LIBERTIES IN THE EARLY COLD WAR MICHAEL E. PARRISH* This Article tells the story of Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., a lawyer who fought for American civil liberties during a time when they were in great peril. Rauh challenged the federal government's loyalty- security program during the height of McCarthyism and the Red Scare through his representation of government employees and contractors that were faced with termination and humiliation due to allegationsof disloyalty. This Article recounts Rauh's efforts by examining his representation of James Kutcher, William Remington, and Charles Allen Taylor, three men who were accused of disloyalty to the United States under the federal government's loyalty-security program. -

Free Speech in the Age of Mccarthy: a Cautionary Tale
Free Speech in the Age of McCarthy: A Cautionary Tale Geoffrey R. Stonet Editor's Note: ProfessorStone adapted the following Article from his keynote address at the Thomas M. Jorde Symposium, February 12, 2004, at the School of Law, University of California,Berkeley (Boalt Hall). The annual symposium is co-sponsored by Boalt Hall and the Brennan Centerfor Justice at NYU School of Law. An Address in Honor of William J. Brennan, Jr. I am delighted to have the privilege of giving this lecture in honor of Justice Brennan. The year I spent as his law clerk-October Term 1972- was one of the most challenging and rewarding of my life. Justice Brennan was a man of extraordinary courage, insight, and vision. The idea of re- membering him each year with a lecture dedicated to his spirit is both fit- ting and inspiring. Why, then, a lecture on the Age of McCarthy? This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Senator Joseph McCarthy's condemnation, and fifty years is always a good time to take stock. Moreover, the Age of McCarthy bears some relation to the present. Though history never repeats itself pre- cisely, it does repeat its general themes, and it is helpful to know our past if we are to cope well with our present. Finally, there has been a disturbing movement recently to rehabilitate Joseph McCarthy. In her new book, Slander, for example, Ann Coulter refers to McCarthyism as a "paranoid liberal fantas[y],"' and in a more serious work, Arthur Herman argues that Joseph McCarthy was "more right than wrong in terms of the larger pic- ture."2 His mistake, Herman says, was to make "a good point badly."3 I Copyright © 2005 California Law Review, Inc. -
