A navy veteran, he returned from service to a Japanese economy that had been destroyed by the war, so for a long time he maintained a Japan-first frame of mind.

He mused about the death penalty and legal prostitution, which are not winning issues here except among drunks, but nobody held it against him. He likened the war on drugs to Prohibition and called it a failure. People let that...

They came into vogue in 1996, when the AFL-CIO unleashed $20 million for ads targeting various members of Congress, and business groups retaliated.
