Although the pair raked in the dough--both became millionaires by age 29--Fuller's obsession with amassing wealth pushed Linda away; in the '60s she left with their two young children and considered divorce...

From Iran-Contra to Reaganomics to introducing crack cocaine to the hood (alright, maybe he didn’t really do this, but damn if he doesn’t make a good scapegoat), there’s plenty of fodder for new age liberals to hate.
