message: i think a short entry on this topic is appropriate, but I don't think much can be made of Schine being posted to Alaska. One fact that was mentioned in the hearings is that 90% of all servicemen were posted overseas. So it seems fairly unremarkable that Schine was posted to Alaska. Seems like a reasonable middle-ground between the trenches of Korea and the beaches of Hawaii.  :-)
::Since the hearings originated from Schine's alleged preferential treatment and the hearings at times very much revolved around Schine, it's a natural progression to ask, "What happened to Schine in the Army following the hearings?"  I think this section nicely addresses that question, particularly when McCarthy had voiced wishes to have Schine sent far away.  While Alaska may have been better than Korea, it must have been one of the harshest environments possible, short of frontline combat, and is interesting to note, even if nothing can be proved conclusively.  It's not as though this entire entry is especially long, in fact, I think more needs to added on the Army-McCarthy Hearings topic, which captivated the whole country for weeks and has been discussed and hashed over ever since.  If we keep slicing off things we decide might not be relevant, there won't be anything left!  71.107.57.131 21:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I just stumbled across this article, and I'm rather startled to see the amount of POV in this article.
It's not that it's not neutral (it is fairly neutral, from what I've read), it's that it's written from the perspective of someone trying to explain why the Army-McCarthy hearings were, rather than what the Army-McCarthy hearings were.
The Why is important, and it should be touched upon, but Wikipedia Is Not A Textbook.  When I go to an encyclopedia article about these hearings, I expect to see the dates that it was convened and concluded, a list of witnesses, a list of the senators involved, who testified and who did not, and similar information.
I don't see any of this.  What I do see is an article that seems to build up to "the famous exchange," as if there were only one exchange in the entire history of the committee.  Yes, certainly Welch's comments are the most famous of the hearings, but they are certainly not the only famous ones.
SOFIXIT?  I plan to, but I am busy, and I'm not an expert in this topic.  Just be aware that I plan to make some major changes to this article in the near future, and I'd appreciate help. superlusertc 2008 March 26, 06:41 (UTC)
:Sounds like you have some good changes in mind. You're certainly right that there's a lot that should be added to the article. The "doctored photo," the J. Edgar Hoover letter that Hoover disavowed, Eisenhower's declaration of executive privilege, maybe Welch's "pixie" dig -- all kinds of fun stuff. I've had it in the back of my head to expand this article for a while now, so if you get things rolling, I'm sure I'll be able to contribute.
:BTW, it's a quirk of Wikipedia-speak that "POV" is generally considered to mean the opposite of "NPOV" (neutral point of view), or non-neutral. It ain't correct English, but that's how "POV" is used here-abouts. RedSpruce (talk) 10:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The current version of the article doesn't mention President Eisenhower at all. Isn't this a bit strange? --MZMcBride (talk) 23:38, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

message: As noted in the article. During the hearings, a photograph of Schine was introduced, and Joseph N. Welch, the Army's attorney in the hearings, accused Cohn of doctoring the image to show Schine alone with Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens. The photo in question is pictured at  and . The originals are presumably part of the Army-McCarthy [Hearings, U.S. Senate, 1954 - Photographs and other Graphic Materials Sound Recordings Textual Records: collection at the National Archives. The National Archives has a wonderful program allowing people to request and scan these materials and get them online, as noted at Wikipedia:Meetup/NARA 4.  Is anyone up for doing that, or getting Life or the Stanford Daily to provide licenses to their copies? ★NealMcB★ (talk) 15:41, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
