All shown on TV and helped spawn a number of 1950's crime TV series. The Democrat Senator for Tennessee won the American peoples trust in the way he conducted the hearings and his clever manipulation to get the crooks to reveal more than intended. he did try for higher office but was unlucky in running mates.
