J. Edgar Hoover - lunatic/maniac
How this lunatic/maniac could become and remain the chief of the FBI for 50 years?

It's a good question and I am glad the man is now reviled. He spit on a great artist and America did nothing to stop it.
shareHe wasn't unlike everyone else playing to the times
He was a public employee
Could have been fired at any time
But he was good at his job, and could keep a secret like no-one else
You don't have to stand tall, but you have to stand up!
Having files on anyone and everyone helped, too. I'd love to see how many tax dollars were spent spying on non-criminals and non-Communists.
