McCarthy Unobserved Here? Hoax, Conclusion
The junior senator from Wisconsin is no longer any great shakes as a public figure, but his name still suffices to raise eyebrows.
That is why Clay Shaw, managing director of International Trade Mart, did a double take when he glanced at the faculty's registration book. There under District of Columbia was recorded in neat penmanship as follows: Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C.
Nobody could be found who rightly remembered having seen the junior senator. But a receptionist recalled spotting a mysterious figure in dark glasses prowling the corridors of the mart. It was finally concluded, however, that the signature was a hoax. Nobody could imagine the junior senator going anywhere unobtrusively.
