Nelson Rockefeller poised as GOP presidential potential
Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, scion of a rich family and longtime public servant, built a career from Roosevelt era posts to Eisenhower and Truman roles. He won governorships in New York, faced Goldwater's nomination bid, and remained nondeclared, ready if the party calls, with a 1960s political trajectory. He faced personal losses, marriages, and a noted 1961 expedition death in New Guinea.
