Newspapers throughout the country recorded incredulity at a seemingly classic case of injustice. Tens of thousands of Illinois citizens signed protest petitions and inundated Governor James Thompson's office with phone calls, telegrams and letters.

At Yale, he was known for throwing legendary dinner parties, singlehandedly roasting, frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends and even matchmaking between courses. On a lark...
