David Eden Lane (November 2, 1938 – May 28, 2007) was an American neo-Nazi and a co-founder of the white supremacist terrorist organization The Order. For his actions as part of The Order, Lane was convicted and sentenced to 190 years in prison for racketeering, conspiracy, and the violation of the civil rights of Alan Berg, a Jewish radio talk show host, who prosecutors claimed was murdered by a member of the group via a drive-by shooting with Lane acting as driver, though they were unsuccessful in getting murder convictions. He died while still incarcerated at the FCI Terre Haute in Terre Haute, Indiana. While in prison, Lane wrote many white supremacist materials and coined the "Fourteen Words", a well known white supremacist slogan in North America. Read more on Wikipedia
