...hardware store. Studious but not shy, he won high school oratorical contests and was active in church plays. At Harvard, he majored in mathematics: "It is much the same as legal thinking-it teaches you to be precise and logical." To meet his expenses, he also worked as a milkman, janitor, driver of a launch for the freshman crew and a painter of handball courts. He made Phi Beta Kappa and graduated summa cum laude. In 1932, he got his Harvard law degree, clerked for Federal Judge John Sanborn, then joined a leading Minneapolis law firm. A lifelong Republican...

Trying to escape the police, he is killed crashing into a wagonload of honey-filled beehives...
...York's Fawkesians were sparked by a Queens milkman whose nickname is "Nathan Hale," a Long Island land scape artist, and a 40-year-old Danbury State Teachers College sophomore. All belonged to the Minutemen, a hyper-patriotic organization whose members covertly train themselves in guerrilla warfare against the day when a Communist coup takes over the U.S. Not content to wait for the revolution, the Sunday warriors aimed last week to destroy three rustic, rundown camps that at one time or another had been used for left-wing or pacifist meetings...
