Edward H. Crane is the founder and president of the Cato Institute. In the 1970s, he was one of the most active leaders of the Libertarian Party: he was the Party's national chairman from 1974 to 1977, and managed Ed Clark's high-profile 1978 campaign for governor of California. In 1977, with the funding of Charles Koch and the assistance of Murray Rothbard, Crane established the Cato Institute, which would grow into the best-known libertarian think-tank in the world. In 1983, Crane, along with many of his supporters, left the Libertarian Party following the Party's nomination of David Bergland rather than Earl Ravenal for president.

Bio (http://www.cato.org/people/crane.html) from the Cato Institute
Robert EdwardCrane (July 13, 1928 – June 29, 1978) was an American disc jockey and actor who starred as Colonel Robert Hogan in the television sitcom Hogan's Heroes from 1965 to 1971.
Crane's life and murder was the subject of the 2002 film Auto Focus.
His son, Scotty Crane, and his second wife, Patricia Olsen, objected to the way Crane was portrayed and took to the media to present their side of the story.
Crane's work during this period was to have a lasting impression on the art of the labour movement in Britain.
Crane's work was also widely circulated in Europe, and in Italy and Germany his reputation as an artist was greater than it was in England.
Crane was a strong critic of the British Empire and after spending time with Annie Besant in India, wrote India Impressions (1907) that included severe criticisms of the way that the country was being ruled by the British.
