	Roy Cohn Summary
		Cohn's cross-examination of Ethel's brother produced the testimony (later found to be perjured) that was mostly responsible for the Rosenbergs' conviction and execution.
		Cohn, although sometimes thought to have been chosen in part to avoid accusations of an anti-semitic motivation for the investigations, was given free rein in pursuit of investigations.
		Cohn is portrayed in an episode of The X-Files, in which an elderly former FBI agent (Darren McGavin) speaks to Agent Mulder about the early years of the McCarthy era and the beginning of the X-Files.

	Queer History
		Cohn was one of four attorneys who successfully prosecuted them for treason, but it was he alone who convinced the judge, an old family friend, to impose the death penalty.
		Cohn's unwavering devotion to Schine suggested that they were lovers, though Cohn was probably just infatuated with the handsome young man. During the hearings, several members of the Senate baited Cohn, pressuring him about his "special interest" in Schine.
		Cohn was acquitted in each case, but in the 1980s, further allegations of unethical conduct finally led to disbarment, just weeks before he died of AIDS on August 2, 1986.

	Judge Kaufman and the Rosenbergs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Cohn was a member of the prosecution team in the Rosenberg case.
		Cohn's posthumous confirmation of those charges, if accepted at face value, would deal a final, crushing blow to the reputation of Judge Kaufman, who Rosenberg case aside, has been a renowned judicial advocate of free speech and civil liberties.
		Cohn professed affection for Biaggi but boasted to Zion that Biaggi had sought his legal advice before a grand jury appearance in which he claimed his privilege against self-incrimination.

	AmericanHeritage.com / Roy Cohn
		Cohn had been revealed before the television camera as surly, irresponsible, and untrustworthy, and he had finally been forced to resign his post.
		Roy Marcus Cohn was born in 1927, the sole, adored offspring of an otherwise loveless marriage between Al Cohn, a soft-spoken Democratic judge, and Dora Marcus, a millionaire’s noisy daughter whose dowry may have included enough of her father’s money to buy her husband his seat on the bench.
		Despite his reputation, she said, Cohn was never really a great lawyer: “I think he was a great bully, who had connections and who frightened … people, and who was … the greatest scrapper and fighter who ever lived.

	Dangerous Obsessions - New York Times
		McCarthy and his cause were soon dead, but Cohn, propelled by a peculiar monomania, lived on as before, sitting shank-to-flank with the movers and the shakers, on through the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and the 1980's, whispering to them sotto voce, behind the hand, brokering their dreams of power.
		By age 23 Cohn was at center stage for the so-called Trial of the Century, the prosecution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for delivering atomic secrets to the Soviet Union.
		Cohn says he went straight to the clerk in charge of assigning judges to criminal cases, pulled the right strings, and Judge Kaufman was in.

		Citizen Jung reported that Citizen Odger had not kept his appointment, and in consequence of that his own presentation had been delayed to such a late hour that but a very brief statement could be made, and the Council of the Engineers had adjourned without a decision.
		Citizen Besson justified conduct: (1) by asserting that at French meetings one could surrender his place to another; (2) that he had not understood the chairman; (3) that he did not consider it a fault to raise a discussion; (4) that he owned he had been much excited.
		Citizen Vasseur, the Marseilles correspondent, wrote from Fuveau, a coal-mining village about 30 kilometres from Marseilles, that the capitalists of that place were doing all in their power to turn the miners, about 500 in number, against the International Association.

	Citizen Cohn (1992): James Woods, Joe Don Baker, Joseph Bologna, and Ed Flanders
		Focusing on Roy Cohn, the right-hand man for Senator Joeseph McCarthy during the Red Scare, Citizen Cohn presents an intensely real portrayal of a man that was universally hated throughout America.
		Presented as flashbacks from his deathbed, the story progresses in a linear fashion with the occasional contemplation from his bed, with an occasional appearance of a person from his past who haunts him and questions his methods of attaining fame and importance.
		The only problem is, that while telling the story of Roy Cohn, there's not much about his life to be exalted, so the film turns into a constant degradation of Cohn's character, morals, and choices in life.

		Cohn made his reputation prosecuting spies and ferreting out "Communists" as Chief Counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy during the red-baiting '50s.
		Of all Cohn's characteristics, his homosexuality is treated with the most filmic sensitivity and actually becomes the lever which reveals the humanity of Roy Cohn - something none of his victims would have glimpsed or imagined.
		Working from a script by Gary Indiana, Vawter convincingly showed how the closeted Cohn was able to shift from addressing a group such as the American Society for the Preservation of the Family, where he would condemn homosexuality, and then be chauffer-driven with his male date for a night on the town.

		Cohn was the chief counsel to Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy during the "Red Scare" of the late fifties.
		Roy Cohn was not a human being but rather a scum sucking rodent not worthy of the dirt under anyone's feet.

	Citizen Cohn Film Review - Time Out Film
		On his sickbed, dying of AIDS, Cohn is haunted by the ghosts of those he persecuted as a result of his own twisted self-loathing - many of them Jews (like the Rosenbergs) or gays (like himself) - while reflecting on his headline-grabbing victories and behind-the-scenes defeats that 'I had to fight someone to stay strong'.
		Adapted from Nicholas von Hoffman's biography, the film emphasises Cohn's obsession with loyalty, a lesson learned early from his mother and one which (when he pulled strings to get his rich kid lover out of the army) was to sow the seeds of his destruction.
		The dialogue-heavy script and claustrophobic, over-dressed interiors betray the film's cable TV origins, but the direction is admirably controlled and the acting first rate, notably Baker's McCarthy and Grant as Cohn's domineering mother.

		The film was accused of drawing remarkable, unflattering, and uncomplimentary parallels (especially in regards to the Susan Alexander Kane character) to real-life.
		The intriguing opening (a bookend to the film's closing prologue) is filled with hypnotic lap dissolves and camera movements from one sinister, mysterious image to the next, searching closer and closer and moving in.
