Thompson, Sr. died in the influenza epidemic in 1920, Carl moved back to Stoughton with his mother, Hannah Hegge Thompson, and his two sisters, Ruth and Helen. They resided with their grandfather, the Reverend M. H. Hegge of First Lutheran Church in Stoughton and Cooksville Lutheran Church for several years, and Hannah taught home economics at Stoughton High School and founded and directed the school lunch program.

Carl often said that he received an early awareness of pay inequities for women when his mother's salary was cut to less than $100 per month during the Depression in the 1930's. This cut was more than that of the men teachers, because the system did not allow for women heads of households or widows. Carl graduated from Stoughton High School in 1932, attended Luther College for one year, and then transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Economics in 1936, and a law degree in 1939. Carl worked his way through law school by serving as the chauffeur for then Governor Phil LaFollette of the Progressive Party, and later worked as a clerk in LaFollette's office. Carl was the youngest delegate at the founding convention on of the Progressive Party in 1934, and was instrumental in the reorganization of the State Democratic Party from 1946 to 1948.

After earning his law degree, Carl started a private law practice in Stoughton. In 1924, went into the United States Army and served in Intelligence during Word War II. He married Marian L. Foster, on Oct. 3, 1942.

After his discharge in 1945, Carl established a law practice with Emmett Chritton in Stoughton. Soon after, he was elected as an alderman and city attorney for Stoughton. He ran for Governor in 1948 and 1950 as a Democratic candidate. He was elected to the State Assembly in 1952, and then won a Senate seat in a special election in 1959, to fill the unexpired term of Gaylord Nelson, who had been el elected governor. Carl won re-election six times, serving a total of 32 years as a Democrat in the State Legislature.

He also established a real estate business, which he ran for many years in Stoughton. While in the Legislature, Carl became well known for his dedication to human rights and civil liberties. He worked on being half of marital women's property rights, reform including reproductive rights, supported by his wife Marian, who was a professor of Women's Education at UW-Extension and active in the Wisconsin Women's Network and Dane County League of Women Voters.

The 10 reports, collected over about six years, were among thousands received by the CIA and other agencies during that time. Where 10 referred to planes hitting buildings, hundreds suggested truck or car bombs, officials said. Still others pointed to more fantastic plots poisoned water supplies, assassinations of important U.S. leaders, attacks on nuclear power plants.

When Carl retired from the Senate, a colleague commented, "Carl has never become jaded, never lost his enthusiasm, never touch with the people of his district and the state. Carl, we will all miss you, your civility, and your humor, but most of all, After will miss the your sincerity." leaving in 1984, Carl served six years as a Commissioner on the Labor and Industry Review Commission, and then retired with his wife Marian to their home outside of Stoughton near Cooksville. survived by his wife Marian; four daughters including (Jack) Thomson-Melby of Champaign, Anne Thompson of Pardeeville; Margaret Thompson of Denver, Col.

The report does not offer a source for the information. "It was viewed as wildly speculative," said an official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"There was no information to corroborate this report." The report was passed on to the FBI, Federal Aviation Administration and other groups, which did little with it. Strategic intelligence is general information that provides insight into an enemy's intentions or capabilities and may contain a clue that an attack is imminent. Only tactical intelligence provides specific information necessary to stop an attack ahead of time. Authorities need a time, date, target, the names of the terrorists and the method of attack.
