* Tony’s father was Amos Pinchot, the governor’s brother. He had started in politics as a Republican, quit to join Teddy Roosevelt, quit TR charging that he had become “a prisoner of the steel trusts” to join FDR, and finally quit FDR to join various progressively nuttier causes. Among Teddy Roosevelt’s papers is a letter to Amos Pinchot, which includes the sentence: “Dear Amos: When I spoke of the Progressive Party as having a lunatic fringe, I specifically had you in mind.” Amos Pinchot died in 1944.
