  • Since its telecast on Edward R. Murrow's documentary series See It Now, “The Case of Milo Radulovich” has been seen as “symbolizing” the problems of McCarthyism. This essay questions “how” the text “comes to stand” for the victims of McCarthyism and argues that the appeal of the program may be traced to the set of representations at its center. This essay suggests one way a documentary text finds persuasive appeal via the particular case.
