You live in the world even though you only vote once in a while. It determines the extensions of your personality. I lived through the McCarthy time, when one saw personalities shifting and changing before one\u2019s eyes, as a direct, obvious result of a political situation. And had it gone on, we would have gotten a whole new American personality\u2014which in part we have \u2026 Such a pall of fright was laid upon us that it truly deflected the American mind. It\u2019s part of a paranoia which we haven\u2019t escaped yet.
