Historian Will Not Be Silenced by Congressman at Hearing

Douglas Brinkley, historian, educator, and author, giving testimony before the Congressional Natural Resources Committee will not be silenced by an arrogant Congressman. Brinkley had corrected the Congressman Young for confusing his name and the university where he teaches. Young bristled: "You shut up and sit there!" Mr. Brinkley: "You don't own me. I pay your salary. I'm in the private sector... You work for the taxpayers."
