I was once in a large Anthropology Dept. (Stony Brook) and for what its worth I remember a very small article in the NY Times that showed that Senator Joe McCarthy was for many years at war with the military industrial complex. As a US Marine in the Pacific (only Marines in Europe guarded embassies) he as a sole surviving machine-gunner deserved a medal which the Corps was not going to give him as there were apparently no witnesses and perhaps for other reasons. It was a very small article in the paper where maybe many would not see it it seemed at the time about 1980 or so. Listen To The Legend - Couric & Co.
