Albert Eisele who in past lives worked for the Pioneer Press Washington Bureau and wrote a dual biography of Hubert Humphrey [the real one] and Eugene McCarthy wrote about the death of Senator Ernest Lundeen.
Like Paul Wellstone, Lundeen died in an airplane crash, but I had never realized that there was so much mystery about the 1940 crash in Virginia. Lundeen was an isolationist, something we never seem to see much of any more. And he was the last major office holder the Farmer-Labor Party had, so it is probably in order if somebody speculates on what might have been.
