...imagine. Yet the passing of the Ford Administration on Jan. 20 will also mark the close of Nelson Rockefeller's remarkable public career. It spans not only four terms as Governor of New York but also jobs with six Administrations in Washington, starting in 1940 as Frank lin Roosevelt's Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. In the interview below, the Vice President discusses his career, including his never-achieved Oval Office ambitions, with TIME'S Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey.
