A clash of political powers: Senator Joseph McCarthy (right) and aide Francis Carr during the Army-McCarthy hearings, 29 April 1954. McCarthy, under investigation for seeking special treatment for Private G. David Schine, a chief consultant to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, faces off against the Army. Meanwhile, at a different Congressional hearing, 33rd President Harry S. Truman (left) chairs the Senate Interstate Commerce Subcommittee, conferring with Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and Captain David L. Behncke, President of the Airline Pilots Association, on matters of commercial aviation, 12 April 1937. Elsewhere, American aviator Jerrie Cobb soars through the skies, breaking gender barriers, while industrialist, aviator, and film producer Howard Hughes and American actor Gene Wilder entertain audiences. And in the world of labor, John L. Lewis leads the Congress of Industrial Organizations and Robert F. Kennedy, as U. S. Attorney General, enforces the law. A snapshot of American history, filled with political intrigue, innovation, and determination.
