With appropriate rumblings and trumpet sounds, McCarthy produced a carbon copy of what he said was a 2¼-page "letter" sent and signed by the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover to Army intelligence on Jan. 26, 1951, warning against a number of subversives employed by the Army Signal Corps. McCarthy's point was that this letter was in the Army files when Stevens took office (on Feb. 4, 1953) and that Stevens had ignored...
...letter turned out to be spurious-at least in form. After testimony that there was no such letter in the Army files and that J.

...Hoover Dam, Harry Morrison put together the famed Six Companies, Inc.,-and contributed $500,000 as his share of the $5,000,000 capital. Looking back, he cannot help thinking that every dam since Hoover has been an anticlimax. "It's the glamour dam," he says wistfully. "I still can't go down in the elevator and step out on the intake and look up without being inspired." M-K introduced bulldozers to its partners at Hoover, wound up using 60 huge monsters. There, too, M-K showed off a new tunnel-driving technique using drill jumbos, great...
