Peter Range, who shared the reporting duties with Kane, is a native Georgian. At age nine, he served as a page in the state house of representatives. He left the South-and the U.S.-in 1967, determined to become a foreign correspondent. He did, in TIME's Bonn bureau.

As it was, Richard Brevard Russell Jr. was an unreconstructed Georgian from the red-clay hamlet of Winder, 45 miles northeast of Atlanta; his one effort at the Democratic nomination, in 1952, quickly collapsed because of his unshakable racial attitudes.
