The story of the colorful 1918 senatorial race that pitted automaker Henry Ford against industrialist Truman Newberry, whose campaign spent much more than the law seemed allow. This led to his conviction under the Federal Corrupt Practices Act--but also to his eventual exoneration in the first campaign finance case to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
