	During/in the/at last/ap years/nns of/in Woodrow/np Wilson's/np$ administration/nn ,/, a/at red/jj scare/nn developed/vbd in/in our/pp$ country/nn ./.
Many/ap Americans/nps reacted/vbd irrationally/rb to/in the/at challenge/nn of/in Russia/np and/cc turned/vbd to/in the/at repression/nn of/in ideas/nns by/in force/nn ./.

Anyone/pn who/wps tried/vbd to/to remedy/vb some/dti of/in the/at most/ql glaring/vbg defects/nns in/in our/pp$ form/nn of/in democracy/nn was/bedz denounced/vbn as/cs a/at traitorous/jj red/nn whose/wp$ real/jj purpose/nn was/bedz the/at destruction/nn of/in our/pp$ government/nn ./.
This/dt hysteria/nn reached/vbd its/pp$ height/nn under/in the/at leadership/nn of/in Senator/nn-tl Joseph/np McCarthy/np ./.
Demagogues/nns of/in this/dt sort/nn found/vbd communist/nn bogeys/nns lurking/vbg behind/in any/dti new/jj idea/nn that/wps would/md run/vb counter/rb to/in stereotyped/vbn notions/nns ./.
New/jj ideas/nns were/bed dangerous/jj and/cc must/md be/be repressed/vbn ,/, no/at matter/nn how/wrb ./.

So/ql all-important/jj are/ber ideas/nns ,/, we/ppss are/ber told/vbn ,/, that/cs persons/nns successful/jj in/in business/nn and/cc happy/jj in/in social/jj life/nn usually/rb fall/vb into/in two/cd classes/nns :/: those/dts who/wps invent/vb new/jj ideas/nns of/in their/pp$ own/jj ,/, and/cc those/dts who/wps borrow/vb ,/, beg/vb ,/, or/cc steal/vb from/in others/nns ./.
