		Tom Paine is the original American—and the original un-American.
		The strange story begins with one of Paine's fiercest critics, who had a change of heart and, in a high-minded grave robbery, dug up the old radical's remains and brought them to England, where he hoped they'd have the same kind of power that Paine's living words had.
		Paine's triumph came when he cast America as the cradle of freedom and the executioner of tyranny.
