Army McCarthy Hearings Begin
Image
Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens (left) watches as Senator Joseph R. McCarthy raises a point of order as the Army-McCarthy hearings begin. Also seated at the table are General Robert Young and committee counsel Roy Cohn. McCarthy raised points of order so frequently that filmmaker Emile de Antonio was inspired to title his documentary about the Wisconsin senator "Point of Order."
