This man was accompanied by Owen Lattimore during a famously incompetent expedition to Kolyma, and his early career was financed by his development of the "copper cross" strain with his company, Pioneer Hi-Bred.
This man was accompanied by Owen Lattimore during a famously incompetent expedition to Kolyma, and his early career was financed by his development of the "copper cross" strain with his company, Pioneer Hi-Bred. His creepy fascination with Nicholas Roerich's personality cult led to the politically damaging revelation of the "Dear Guru" letters, while he reversed course and advocated the re-election of Dwight Eisenhower in a book claiming that he had been duped by Joseph Stalin, Where I was Wrong. This politician delivered the "Century of the Common Man" speech, and he advocated the ever-normal granary philosophy as Secretary of (*) Agriculture, a post also held by his corn- farming enthusiast father. He was sacked by an earlier successor from his position as Secretary of Commerce over disagreements about Russia policy, after this successor of John Nance Garner was removed from the 1944 Presidential ticket in favor of Harry Truman. FTP, identify this man, who served as Franklin Roosevelt's second Vice President and shares his surname with race-baiting Alabama governor George.
