How Did You Know? - {Day 4}

We're in the middle of another 5-day trivia hunt! For those who missed Monday's challenge, it's not too late. Be sure to solve it right over here. And you can find Tuesday's challenge right here and yesterday's here.
The rules: Every day this week, I'll be presenting a specific challenge. Your job: come up with the answers and hold onto them! Why? Because on Friday, you'll need them to solve a short puzzle. The first person to email in the correct answers and successfully show how you arrived at them (thus the title: How Did You Know?) wins a choice of any t-shirt and book from our store.
As always, I definitely encourage you to work in teams. Email your friends, send around each daily challenge, conspire, work together, whatever it takes to make sure you're armed with the right answers going into Friday's puzzle.
Today, we're playing Name That Man. Two U.S. presidents are united by one man. On the next page, hidden in a silly sentence, is the name of that man. His first and last names can be found as an anagram composed of four consecutive words in the sentence.
Here are the questions you need to answer to solve the puzzle:
1. Who is the man hidden in the sentence?
2. Who are the two presidents?
3. What is the connection between the three men?
Be sure to check back tomorrow for the finale posted at 12pm EDT.
