Observed Republican Hamilton Fish Jr. of New York: "Doar deliberately cultivates a monotone to try to avoid revealing personal biases or coloring the facts. It's awfully dull." Indeed, within an hour after the opening of the first day of hearings, Democratic Representative James Mann of South Carolina fell asleep...
