[CharlesDeCouilles]

Primarily known for being the victim of a crime or being the perpetrator of a crime?

Pass, noting the use of "primarily" in all three passes.

[Aristocrat]

Yes.

[CharlesDeCouilles]

It's very late where I am and my eyes and brain are tired, but I think that may be 19 questions. Maybe we need a classic recap post and some guesses before we hit Q20?

If no one's done the recap when I wake up, I'll do one myself.

I hope the passes will make sense once the answer is revealed; I'm agonizing over them and hoping no one will be frustrated with me!

[Hominidae]

I think we are at 18 questions.

Primarily known for being an activist or expressing opinions about politics?

I'm going to say no, once again noting the word primarily in the question.

[Pepijn]

Free guess: Walter Cronkite

[CharlesDeCouilles]

Free guess: Walter Cronkite

No.

[Hominidae]

So this person is primarily famous for either being involved in a political event, or working for the government.

[Aristocrat]

Tough pick. We have a lot of info but no one is coming to mind that fits the criteria…

[Jamiet99uk]

Did this person come to public attention in the 1930s or 1940s?

[Hominidae]

It could be a military person. I don't think anyone has explicitly asked that.

[CharlesDeCouilles]

Since people are talking, I'm going to hold off on answering the last question in case people want to get free guesses in.

Saw a hint given a couple of threads ago and I feel terribly anxious so I'll say: this man is well-known for different things and I think that different people would have different answers on what he's primarily known for. Also, my choice of person was inspired by which round we're on.

I believe my question was number 19.

If so, please answer it.
