Editorial on Valachi Senate Hearings as Spectacle and Substance
The piece weighs the Valachi hearings' value beyond television glamour. It notes Congress should use such inquiries to assess law needs, cites Kennedy and McClellan, and acknowledges Valachi’s detailed insider testimony as potentially significant despite limited corroboration. It concludes public awareness may spur remedies, though benefits seem to favor the televised Senators.
