70 years ago today, Strom Thurmond’s mistress was put to death

20. I had never heard that story, but it's not surprising as Strom was a known womanizer.

Even in his old age he would grope any woman. I remember reading at the time that Hillary became a senator that her fellow women senators initiated her in the ritual of how to greet Thurmond. When you greeted him you shook hands and at the same time placed your left hand on his shoulder, otherwise he would give them a bear hug. The old guy was always trying to cop a feel.
