  Ed Crane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 to be Governor of California.
Crane and Rothbard later disagreed with regards to Cato, spurring Rothbard to write a scathing indictment of Crane and Cato in the Libertarian Forum[1].

 r21: Ed Crane on liberty, etc.
Ed Crane, founder and president of the Cato Institute and a man who has done more for the libertarian cause than nearly anyone, spoke yesterday in Palo Alto.
Crane points out that you could apply the clause to just about anything—but this is clearly counter to the original intent because why else would the framers have enumerated the powers that of the federal government in the first place.
Crane noted the media’s wide-eyed credulity when it comes to the political process—who treat the horse-trading around things such as subsidies and tariffs as if it were a natural and rational arbitration of national will.

 "Man Who Wasn't There"
Crane’s wife Doris (played by director Joel Coen’s wife, Frances McDormand) is falsely accused of Big Dave’s murder and ends up committing a “double murder” in prison—of herself and her unborn child conceived with Big Dave.
Crane recovers from the accident but ultimately is sent to the death house for a crime he didn’t commit: the murder of Creighton Tolliver (Jon Polito), the gay traveling salesman who had inspired Crane’s dry-cleaning scheme and whom homophobic Big Dave had beaten and drowned.
Much of this emanates from the cheeky construction of the ambivalent protagonist, Ed Crane, whose taciturn personality seems as incongruously attuned to his role of voice-over narrator (another classical noir referent) as it is to his barber’s profession.
