GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK ***** BBC2 12m't Tense, beautifully layered drama following the crusading campaign waged by a team of TV journalists against the persecution meted out by Senator McCarthy during his investigation into alleged communist sympathisers.
Inevitably there was standing room only in Washington yesterday when the Senate subcommittee [which under McCarthy's chairmanship sought to expose leftwing infiltration and espionage in government and the military] called Mrs Annie Lee Moss, a middle-aged coloured woman, who was suspended by the army signal corps after Senator McCarthy had described her as a "code clerk" whose "communist record" was known to the army.
But not many of us would be sympathetic to the Ku Klux Klan or the depredations of Senator McCarthy and his un-American activities committee.
