The FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted fugitives list is so firmly affixed in the American cultural consciousness that I guess I assumed it had been around as long as the FBI itself. Not so. The FBI launched the Most Wanted list 60 years ago, March 14, 1950, a milestone in the history of public relations. But what began as a PR stunt has persisted so long that the names and faces of those who made the list are an interesting historical artifact.
