...devoted sidekick of ex-Professor Douglas. Like Douglas, who lost the use of his left arm while fighting with the Marines on Okinawa, McAdams, now a successful attorney, had lost his in action with the Navy at Leyte. Their 1948 technique had been to scour the state in a jeep, stopping at factories, filling stations, street corners, starting at 7 a.m. and carrying on until midnight; they traveled 40,000 miles to deliver 1,100 Douglas orations...
