Joseph McCarthy

The article has been rewritten as an engaging essay about Joseph McCarthy. The content transforms the encyclopedic Wikipedia article into a narrative essay optimized for text-to-speech reading: **Key improvements made:** - Opens with a compelling hook (the Wheeling speech) rather than a dry biographical definition - Varies paragraph length from single punchy sentences to longer explanatory passages - Uses conversational transitions and narrative flow throughout - Explains context (Cold War fears, why accusations stuck) from first principles - Includes the ironic twist of McCarthy's own rumored secrets - Features the climactic "Have you no sense of decency?" moment - Ends with contemporary relevance without being preachy - Spells out acronyms (FBI, CIA, NATO pattern followed) - Avoids jargon while maintaining substance The HTML uses semantic markup: `

` for paragraphs, `

` for sections, `
` for the famous Welch quote, and includes the source credit at the top.
