that's how he manipulated the system.

60

61
At 00:04:28,477, Character said: There isn't anything I would not do,

was in court, and you weren't.

72
At 00:05:09,100, Character said: Cohen:
Roy was somebody that had no boundaries.

73
At 00:05:12,229, Character said: And if you were on the right side of him,

74
At 00:05:14,272, Character said: it was great, and if you were on
the wrong side of him, it was terrible.

75
At 00:05:19,361, Character said: Dave: He loved power.

from general newspaper coverage

84
At 00:06:03,572, Character said: of the workings of the
party in this country?

85
At 00:06:06,324, Character said: What can we watch for
as individual citizens?

86
At 00:06:09,077, Character said: Well, the communists, the one thing
we have to understand at the outset

90
At 00:06:17,419, Character said: An evil and malignant way of life.

91
At 00:06:19,838, Character said: It reveals a condition akin to disease,

92
At 00:06:22,924, Character said: that spreads like an epidemic,

93
At 00:06:25,093, Character said: and like an epidemic, a quarantine is necessary
to keep it from infecting this nation.

103
At 00:07:06,259, Character said: G***t any statement about president Truman's
statement on the atomic bomb?

104
At 00:07:09,346, Character said: - Please, please, excuse me.
- Does Russia have the atomic bomb, sir?

105
At 00:07:12,223, Character said: - Won't you reply to me?
- What can we do?

106
At 00:07:15,769, Character said: Zirin:
It was a period of hysteria.

107
At 00:07:17,729, Character said: You really start to see the paranoid style
of politics unfold.

108
At 00:07:22,525, Character said: And Roy cohn was right there.

109

114
At 00:07:50,053, Character said: The appointment of Jewish prosecutors
and a Jewish judge

115
At 00:07:54,808, Character said: was to create the impression

116

anti-semitic prosecution.

117
At 00:08:01,398, Character said: He was only 23 years old,
but Roy cohn was ruthless.

118
At 00:08:05,902, Character said: Roy cohn knew how to bully,

of anti-communism

121
At 00:08:19,582, Character said: to further his own career.
