It was a strange era. The chief difficulty in writing about it is the almost complete absence of records and documents. For this reason historians differ as to when, exactly, it opened, but it is safe to say that by 1952 the era was well under way. A major event of the decade occurred in October, 1954. Senator Angus Blauhofer rose in the U.S. Congress and delivered a speech setting forth the doctrine of guilt by non-association. According to his doctrine anyone who had never consorted with Communists or Russian nationals might logically be suspected of disloyalty.
