Charges were in a sealed envelope,
nobody saw them.

:11:04
- Not even at the hearing? - He was
declared guilty without a trial...

:11:07
...and told if he wanted
to keep his job...

:11:09
...he had to denounce his father
and his sister. Thank you, Natalie.

:11:12
- His sister?
- He told them to take a hike.

:11:16
Let's send Joe and Charlie down there,
see if he's any good on camera.

:11:20
Is he being brought
before the Committee?

:11:23
No.
:11:25
Then it's not McCarthy.
:11:28
Isn't it?
:11:35
Milo Radulovich.
:11:40
What happens to your children...
:11:42
...your 5-year-old and your 5-month-old
in terms of you?

:11:45
If I am being judged
on my relatives...

:11:48
...are my children going
to be asked to denounce me?

:11:53
Are they going to be judged
on what their father was labeled?

:11:58
Are they going to have to explain
to their friends, etc...

:12:03
...why their father
is a security risk?

:12:06
If the thing is let stand
as it, the first recommendation...

:12:11
...was sent out by the board,
I see a chain reaction that...

:12:15
...has no end to anybody,
for anybody.

:12:24
Well, that's new.
:12:27
You can't call this
a neutral piece.

:12:28
The other side's been represented
rather well for the last 2 years.

:12:31
The Air Force
hasn't gone on the record.

:12:33
So you want to forego the standards
you've stuck to for 15 years...

:12:36
...both sides, no commentary.
:12:37
- We all editorialize. - I'm just
making sure we identify what...

:12:40
We're giving them
the information up front...

:12:42
...and we're asking them
to comment on it.

:12:44
Frank, hold on.
:12:45
I've searched my conscience.
:12:47
I can't for the life of me
find any justification for this.

:12:50
I simply cannot accept
that there are, on every story...

:12:53
...two equal and logical sides
to an argument.

:12:55
- Call it editorializing, if you'd like.
- It is editorializing.

:12:58
They'll have equal time
to defend themselves.
