The Tydings Panel was a lynch mob. Tydings ghost surely now stands at the shoulders of the likes of Schumer, Leahy and Kennedy.
You may already know a this about Senator Tydings, but others might get a rueful chuckle. In the book, Blacklisted By History (M.Stanton Evans) p244.there is a photograph of handsome Senator Tydings. He is posing with a phonograph and record. Tydings told the Senate he could prove McCarthy lied at his Wheeling West Virginia speech about the number of Communists. The press reported Tydings had been prevented from playing the recording. Tydings said "they will hear the Senator's own voice." This previously.
Tydings was later questioned by McCarthy's attorney. He admitted there was no such recording. I believe one Dan Rather too, was a little lax in matters of important journalistic integrity.
