...strong-and bitterly opposing-views. Missouri's Senator Stuart Symington is a millionaire businessman (Emerson Electric) turned liberal Democratic politician. Ohio's George Magoffin Humphrey is a millionaire businessman who served from 1953 to 1957 as Dwight Eisenhower's rock-solid conservative Treasury Secretary.
