Muskie rises as Johnson’s vice presidential pick
CHICAGO AP The man Lyndon Johnson once sent to Senate obscurity for defying him is now the Democratic nominee for vice president. Edmund Muskie, Maine’s tall liberal, grew from lonely freshman to power broker on Capitol Hill. Once passed over for committees, he built influence steering pollution bills and Johnson's policy agendas. Muskie, 54, Polish-American governor and Navy veteran, is married with five children and known for accurate, not long, golf shots.
