None of the leaders on the 1974 list has become President as yet -- but that's not for lack of trying. Twenty years ago, who would have imagined that H. Ross Perot, then a 44-year-old founder of a computer-software company, would win 19% of the vote as a third-party candidate in the 1992 election?

Only six days after New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani endorsed New York Governor Mario Cuomo over Republican George Pataki, Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan threw his support to Senator Dianne Feinstein rather than Republican Michael Huffington. Ross Perot extended his vendetta against the Bush family across the generations by backing Texas Governor Ann Richards over First Son George W. Bush. In Pennsylvania, Teresa Heinz, widow of Republican Senator John Heinz, dismissed G.O.P. upstart Rick Santorum in favor of the more patrician Democrat Harris Wofford, calling Santorum "short...
