Bob appeared before congressional committees five times, that I can think of. This is his last appearance, January 15, 1960, a mere 62 years ago. Two photos follow, one from each of the major wire services, Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI). Between the two captions, one gets a good idea of the story.

Part of me would be interested in seeing him these days in the current political environment.
Agree Carrie. An interview I saw, he had talked about celebrity-politicians and he seemed to have some foresight (not sure if that is a word?) about how things were headed that way.
He'd either be totally flabbergasted (love that word!) and unable to function, or thrown in jail as an 'insurrectionist' for speaking out against tyranny and wokeism. Fast-forwarding him to 2022, would be an unkind thing to do.
He has too much class to get involved in today’s politics. I think he would be thoroughly disgusted.
Lighting a Lucky.
