Herb Stempel
Herbert Milton "Herb" Stempel (born December 19, 1926) is of Jewish origin, a television game show contestant and subsequent whistle blower on the fraudulent nature of the industry, in what became known as the quiz show scandals. His rigged six-week appearance as a winning contestant on the 1950s show Twenty One ended in an equally rigged defeat by Columbia University teacher and literary scion Charles Van Doren.

For underfoot the herb was dry;
And genial warmth; and o’er the sky
The silvery haze of summer drawn;”
