My father, who was a professor at local university watched the hearings all the way through and did his own court-style sketches of the cast of characters. Damn I wish I still had those drawings.
I am also glad that he did not have to live through our present drama. It would have driven him over the edge. Trump and the current fascist party would have deeply wounded his liberal soul.
