WBH as Television Interviewer: Longines Chronoscope


In addition to Huie's work as an author and journalist, he served as a host and panelist for an early television news program, the Longines Chronoscope.  The show aired originally on CBS and Longines-Wittnauer conveyed all rights to the U.S. Government on December 19, 1969. Many of these interviews were donated to the National Archives have been made publically available on YouTube.  We will be sharing some of Huie's interviews and providing details and information via the WBH@100 blog throughout the coming months.

On September 29, 1952, William Bradford Huie and Henry Hazlitt talk with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (Republican-Wis.) on review of his speaking tour in support of the Republican national ticket and against the Truman administration, interpretation of his recent senatorial victory, and origin of the term "McCarthyism."
