In 1947, when aging Ed O'Neal retired, the strongest farm lobby in the U.S. replaced O'Neal with Allan Blair Kline, a prosperous Iowa hog farmer (who had managed well enough during the Depression to build a swimming pool on his farm).

For two years he worked in Hamilton, Ohio, and made his name there slashing off a man's ear in a fight. He came back often, disguised sometimes in his 80-year-old mother's pink bonnet and skirts. This spring he thrust away all fear and came home for good. "They run me home, and that...
