Good morning! At a congressional hearing held 60 years ago today, Joseph Welch, a lawyer representing the US Army, was stunned when Senator Joe McCarthy claimed that an attorney at his firm was a Communist. “Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness,” said Welch.
