...Ralph's abortive campaign for state attorney general in 1974. But Danehy and clerk of courts cast their ballots for McLaughlin, then a state representative, instead. Ralph "stormed out of the meeting, " McLaughlin says, and he refused to attend the organizational meeting where a chairman was to be chosen. Launching a career as what McLaughlin calls "an obstructionist," Ralph fired off an angry press release in which he claimed that the caliber of people then in power at the county courthouse (Danehy and McLaughlin) made him conclude that county government could not work and should be scrapped...

From childhood, he says, "I lived in an atmosphere of decency, mutual help and tact, a liking for work and respect for the mastery of one's chosen profession." Young Andrei lost no time in mastering his: by 1942, having graduated with honors in physics from Moscow State University, he went to work in the war industry.

His first choice for director, Theodore Sorensen, suddenly withdrew from consideration three days before the Inauguration because it had become apparent that he was unacceptable to a powerful coalition of liberals and conservatives on the Senate Intelligence Committee (TIME, Jan. 31).
