Talk:William Knowland

The China Lobby
It's a rather well known secret that Senator Knowland was "the point man" for what was known as "The China Lobby," hence his support for Nationalist China.

While I am not so personally knowledgeable about the specifics of this, I know there must be someone out there who is; this should definitely be expanded upon since "The China Lobby" had rather dire consequences in regard to US Foreign Policy, in particular regard to Southeast Asia and ultimately Vietnam.

just 2 days after 100th anniversary occasion of Oakland Tribune?
He spoke at that 100th anniversary event on Feb. 21, 1974, and apparently committed suicide just 2 days later. I don't know what was said of this at the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 22:50, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

affairs
I see no mention of his wife's affair with senator Moody, or his affair with senator Moody's wife. Seems like this is notable, what with both being senators. I see it is mentioned in Moody's article. Fydorpetrovich (talk) 02:22, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

college career
He took 3 1/2 years to finish at UCB, not 3. So it says in ONE STEP FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.Fydorpetrovich (talk) 03:55, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Ike Comment
Didn't Ike once say of him something to the effect that he was living proof that "there was no definitive answer to the question "how stupid can you get?" " I've no idea when or where he would have said it though - perhaps Nixon quoted it in one of his books after Ike and Knowland were both dead...Paulturtle (talk) 19:12, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Kidnapping of J. Reginald Murphy
This article seems to impute Murphy's kidnapping to the Symbionese Liberation Army, but Murphy's own article says that he was taken by a lone kidnapper who claimed to belong to a right-wing group (which may not have existed). In any case, is there a source for the claim that Knowland was affected by Murphy's kidnapping? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.100.27.132 (talk) 06:02, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
