One of the first and most significant public affairs shows, "See It Now" (CBS) produced some of the most daring documentaries of the Cold War era. Hosted by legendary World War II correspondent Edward R. Murrow, the program is perhaps most famous for its overwhelmingly negative profile of Sen. Joseph McCarthy in 1954. McCarthy lashed back by calling Murrow a communist. During its seven years, "See It Now" also aired segments on Presidents Truman and Eisenhower; atomic-bomb inventor J. Robert Oppenheimer; and on issues such as nuclear testing and radiation. The show's legacy survives today: "60 Minutes" executive producer Don Hewitt is a "See It Now" veteran.
