And yet it is Hoover and Tolson?s public life?the stuff we do know about?that is ultimately the most fascinating part of their story. They never openly acknowledged a sexual or romantic relationship. At the same time, they demanded?and received?a level of respect for their partnership that seems almost unthinkable in pre-Stonewall society. For some four decades, the cr?me de la cr?me of political America treated them as a recognized couple; when Edgar was invited to dinner, so was Clyde. We don?t have to make up their most intimate scenes to find a relationship worth exploring.
Hoover and Tolson met sometime in the late 1920s?perhaps, though not definitively, at the Mayflower Hotel bar as suggested in one of J. Edgar?s early scenes. In early 1928, Tolson signed on as a Bureau agent, one of many handsome young George Washington fraternity men recruited in Hoover?s early days as director. His career took off immediately. By 1931, Tolson was assistant director of the Bureau, charged with enforcing Hoover?s famously nitpicking internal policies.
