And the dedication so reads.
1:07:03
I believed 20 years ago
and I believe today...
1:07:06
...that mature Americans can engage
in conversation and controversy...
1:07:10
...the clash of ideas, with Communists
anywhere in the world...
1:07:13
...without becoming
contaminated or converted.
1:07:16
I believe that our faith,
our conviction...
1:07:19
...our determination
are stronger than theirs...
1:07:22
...and that we can successfully compete,
not only in the area of bombs...
1:07:26
...but in the area of ideas.
1:07:30
I have worked with CBS
for more than 19 years.
1:07:33
The company has subscribed fully
to my integrity and responsibility...
1:07:37
...as a broadcaster
and as a loyal American.
1:07:40
I require no lectures from the junior
Senator from Wisconsin...
1:07:43
...as to the dangers
or terrors of Communism.
1:07:47
Having searched my conscience
and my files...
1:07:49
...I cannot contend that
I have always been right or wise...
1:07:52
...but I have attempted to pursue
thet ruth with diligence...
1:07:55
...and to report it...
1:07:56
...even though, as in this case,
I had been warned in advance...
1:07:59
...that I would be subjected
to the attentions of Senator McCarthy.
1:08:04
We shall hope to deal with matters
of more vital interest next week.
1:08:09
Good night, and good luck.
1:08:18
In the last analysis, the Senator was
perched on the television high dive...
1:08:21
...and all prepared
to make a resounding splash.
1:08:24
He jumped beautifully,
but he neglected to check first...
1:08:26
...where he was going to land.
It must have been a shock...
1:08:29
...to discover that Mr. Murrow
had drained the water out of the pool.
1:08:33
- Is that the Times? Gould?
- Yeah, it's Jack Gould.
1:08:36
- He's a hell of a writer.
- Yes, he is.
1:08:38
- If we can afford him!
- Stanton's got a public opinion...
1:08:41
Senate's investigating McCarthy.
1:08:44
What?
1:08:45
The Army's charging that McCarthy
and Cohn exercised undue pressure...
1:08:48
...to get preferential treatment
for Schine. - Who's the source?
1:08:52
- Got a second source? - There isn't,
but this is coming out in 2 hours.
1:08:56
- Who's heading up the investigation?
- It's not gonna be McCarthy!
1:08:59
- Really?
- What happened?
