The whole McCarthy episode must be judged from the perspective of the atmosphere that has always prevailed in the Senate, where most senators are reluctant to judge the personal conduct of another. Perhaps we were wrong in McCarthy's case. Perhaps we were not as sensitive as some, and should have acted sooner. That's a reasonable indictment that falls on me as well. —JFK, 1959
