Immortality for Baby Jean was in the bag, said...
Behind him was 36 years' experience for just such a job. When, peasant-born, sketchily schooled, he won his first Diet seat in 1904, Finland was still a grand duchy under the Tsar of Russia. As Finland won its independence, began to prosper, so did Kallio, becoming fifteen-time Speaker of the Diet, four-time Premier, and, finally, President...
