The Hollywood Ten hearings might be useful ones for students
nowadays to read; one of my other favorites in Zero Mostel's
hearing, in which he was accused of appearing at a subversive
rally; asked what he had done, he said his number had been to
imitate a butterfly, and there is a very silly colloquy about
being a butterfly for the commies.
 
I have happy memories of doing staged readings of these hearings
in the Moot Court room of Cornell University Law School in the
late 1950s, early 60s.
 
Didn't Eric Bentley once put together an anthology of those
hearings?
