Cohn Leads Life Between Law, Animals and McCarthy Era Fame
Roy Cohn, famed as a ruthless attorney and McCarthy ally, shares a softer side with a sofa stuffed with toy dogs and his spaniel Charlie Brown. He recalls defending Rosenbergs, surviving three indictments to acquittal, and his anti-Communist stance while promoting a new book on fighting for the little guy. He recalls his Bronx birth, Columbia Law School at 20, and battles with the IRS over deductions. A brief note then shifts to Indonesia’s Java and a goddess in a luxury hotel setting.
