abstract
  • One of the victims of McCarthyism was Prof. Nicholas Girard—the contemporary alias of Nicholas de Brabant, better known to viewers of Forever Knight as Det. Nick Knight. He was at the time an Associate Professor in the Archaeology Department at the University of Chicago. As described in the episode "Spin Doctor", Prof. Girard is called to testify at committee hearings into the presumed encroachment of Communist Party members and communist sympathizers into the university—something that is considered particularly pernicious, given the influence that educators have on the minds of the young. Unwilling to betray others, Girard refuses to testify, citing his right under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution not to incriminate himself. It is assumed by the committee and the press that he must be a communist himself; and he loses his job.
