IN THE US 100 years ago in spring 1919, at least three dozen dynamite-filled bombs were posted to prominent politicians including the attorney general as well as justice officials and newspaper editors.
One bomb was sent to capitalist businessman John D Rockefeller founder of the Standard Oil Company and the man who had become the first ever dollar billionaire just three years before.
One clue to who had sent the bombs was to one addressed to Rayme Weston Finch. Finch was a federal agent who in 1918 had arrested two prominent Galleanists while leading a police raid on the offices of their newspaper.
