Very interesting. Welch saying that was captured on film, and is on YouTube. It's even more powerful when you see it than when you read it: https://youtu.be/PTwDUpbQHJg You might be interested in a radio play that I wrote about McCarthyism, especially as the play is still available, and the main actor sounds just like McCarthy: https://terryfreedman.substack.com/p/the-investigator?s=w

One thing I would take issue with, though. Like you, I think words matter. You say you are not "just" a writer. Writers are the backbone of our community, and they generate, either directly or indirectly, billions of dollars' and pounds' worth of business. I don't think any writer should describe themselves as "just" a writer! Just sayin'

I actually meant to write "a radio play about McCarthyism that I wrote about" -- I didn't write the play!
