...almost two months, FBI agents have kept a round-the-clock watch on Chicago Rackets Boss Momo Salvatore ("Sam") Giancana, 53, heir to what remains of Al Capone's empire. And the tail gives Sam a pain. He sneaks out of his house at odd hours, lies on the floor of a relative's car, changes cars on a crowded street, once even pulled casually into a car wash, then zoomed out the rear while attendants cheered, "Go, man, go."

Inevitably, Love crossed shovels with brawny opponents. When he stood up for the whole coal industry against John L. Lewis' demands for a three-day work week in 1950, Lewis in his fury borrowed from Shakespeare to dismiss Love as "a liar by the clock." Love good-naturedly responded by asking Lewis for one of his eyebrows to use as a toupee. Eventually Lewis backed down, and today the two old antagonists are friends. Hanging from the wall of Love's Pittsburgh office is an unlikely trinity of photographs: George Humphrey, U.S. Steel's late Ben Fairless...
