Hoover was the fourth child born to a willful mother and a weak father. As a young FBI agent, imbued with his mother's Calvinistic sense of rectitude, he distinguished himself with his work ethic and organization of raids on such radical groups as the IWW; as director, he reformed the agency and initiated the illegal break-ins, wiretaps, and cooperation with sources such as Hedda Hopper that enriched FBI files with politically explosive material.
