| biography:
| Basketball player and US senator, born in Crystal City, Missouri, USA. A three-time All-American forward at Princeton University (1961–5), he attended Oxford University for two years as a Rhodes Scholar before joining the National Basketball Association New York Knicks (1967–77). Elected to the US Senate (Democrat, New Jersey, 1979), he gained recognition as an expert in energy conservation and as an advocate for civil rights. Although often mentioned as a potential presidential candidate, he seemed personally reluctant to make the necessary commitment. He was elected to basketball's Hall of Fame in 1983. |
