{"value"=>"<p>These folders contain letters, memoranda, clippings, leaflets and other documents about the Communist movement in the United States and the reactions to it. The series begins with papers about the anti-Fascist, anti-war effort of the 1930's, and covers the Alger Hiss and other cases involving national security, the hearings of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the charges of senator Joseph R. McCarthy and the investigations of his Senate committee, his eventual censure by the Senate, and the Cold War and other foreign policy issues which prompted the anti-communist agitation. Throughout, the focus is on the NYT: its news coverage, its editorial stance, the commentary of its columnists, and, especially in the years 1950-1954, its book reviews, with allegations that communists were employed in its news and editorial department, and that its news, editorials, and reviews were slanted in favor of the left. The papers include many letters by readers, both attacking and supporting the NYT, articles by rightist newspapers and magazines, columns by such writers as Westbrook Pegler and Walter Winchell attacking the NYT, and ringing defenses by AHS and his associates of the NYT and the democratic ideals it was propounding.</p>"}
