| biography:
| US politician, born in Ottawa, Kansas, USA. He studied at Yale, and established a law practice at Denver, CO. After managing George McGovern's presidential campaign (1970–2), he entered the US Senate in 1974. A ‘neo-liberal’, seeking to combine social and environmental reform with enhanced economic efficiency, he contested the Democrats' presidential nomination in 1980, and almost defeated Walter Mondale. He retired from the Senate in 1986 to concentrate on a bid for the presidency, which proved unsuccessful following media allegations about his personal life. |
