For all I know, my grandfather was a bank robber in Kilsyth.

I originally worked as an archaeologist in North Carolina, and when bones were found police would take them out to the bones lady at the university, and that was me.

I was the son of a publican and a master builder. He ran the Empire Hotel in North Hobart. His name was Max, too. Big Max.

My name became known because I was, one might say accidentally the target of state repression and because so many people throughout the country and other parts of the world organized around the demand for my freedom.

I was a chief justice. And before that, I was a district court judge, handled major felonies, including capital murder cases; and I handled major civil litigation.

I ended up being the governor of a very ag state, Nebraska.

I remember the people I knew in prison; I was very fortunate to know them - they came from 1910, 1920, 1930.

I probably have become more infamous from two misdemeanors than probably anyone I could think of.
