Wallace quits politics after health forces end governor runs
George Wallace announced his retirement from politics in a tearful speech in Montgomery Alabama saying ill health will keep him from seeking a fifth term as governor. The 66 year old paraplegic veteran spoke to about 400 people in the State Capitol House chamber describing the climb as finished and passing the rope to another climber. He cited injuries from a 1972 assassination attempt and noted Alabama moved from the Old South to the Sun Belt during his long career while receiving support from black voters and leaders including E D Nixon.
