John C. Danforth, 37, a wealthy Ralston Purina heir, won degrees from Princeton and Yale (Divinity and Law), dabbled in New York law and politics before returning to his native Missouri and, in 1968, winning election as state attorney general. As founder of Missouri's New Republicans, a group of young, liberal G.O.P. reformers, Danforth has bypassed the old party establishment and helped break a 38-year Democratic stranglehold on top state offices. Though he lost a bid for the U.S. Senate in 1970, he was easily re-elected attorney general two years ago by an astonishing...
