- There's absolutely no need to
drag the man into the spotlight.
- You dragged Herb Stempel in.
1:42:05
The man has to be
dragged from the spotlight
with his teethmarks still on it.
1:42:09
Yeah, well, nobody forced
Charles Van Doren to go in front
of 50 million people either.
1:42:12
This is not McCarthyism. We are not
here to expose for the sake of exposing.
1:42:15
- This is not the point !
- That is the point !
That is not your point !
1:42:18
You are ten times the man
Charles Van Doren is.
1:42:22
Ten times the brain
and ten times the human being.
1:42:25
Meanwhile, you're bending
over backwards for him.
1:42:28
You are like the Uncle Tom
of the Jews.
1:42:31
l'm glad it's so easy for you
to destroy a man's life.
l'll have to keep that in mind.
1:42:36
Bob, sit down.
1:42:40
The quiz show hearings without Van Doren
is like doing Hamlet without Hamlet.
1:42:48
The Chairman's instructions
are for me to get you up there
as promptly as possible.
1:42:52
The questions are to take
no longer than 15 minutes.
1:42:54
You're to receive
the questions in advance,
1:42:57
and l'm to thank you for the courtesy
of attending this hearing.
1:43:02
Mercy.
What a grueling line of inquiry.
1:43:05
Must have a familiar ring,
the questions in advance.
1:43:12
Would you excuse us
for a moment, please ?
1:43:18
Take this, please.
Thank you.

- Young man--
1:43:25
The ratings went up if the same
contestant came back week after week.
1:43:28
There was only one way for that
to happen. You had to know that.
1:43:31
Young man, l sell over $14 million
a year worth of Geritol.
1:43:36
Geritol. That's the kind
of businessman l am.
1:43:39
That show, Twenty-One, cost me three
and a half million year in, year out.
1:43:42
Sales went up 50% when
Van Doren was on. Fifty percent.
1:43:47
So the very idea that l was unaware of
every detail of that show's operation,
1:43:52
frankly,
it's very insulting.
1:43:54
- So you knew.
- That's even more insulting.
1:43:56
- You had to know--
- lt's not about what l know.
lt's about what you know.
1:43:58
- You don't know what l know.
- You know that Dan Enright
ran a crooked quiz show.
