...passed the Ohio bar examination in 1957, Stokes resigned his court job and went into law practice with his brother. A year later Mayor Anthony Celebrezze appointed him an assistant prosecutor under City Law Director Ralph Locher. The next step, in 1962, was election to the state legislature, where he quickly established himself as a prolific, catholic lawmaker. He helped draft legislation establishing a state department of urban affairs, wrote a new mental-health services act, helped enact stiffer traffic regulations, promoted a gun-control bill, worked for tougher air-pollution controls, and was the only Democrat to sponsor...

So the violence that ensues seems less the result of cowboy determination than of fate...

Lowenstein, and others who argued that a victory in the Granite State contest--the nation's first--would be a necessary first step in a successful campaign to unseat Johnson...
