Information from Washington suggests a new post may be filled by the death of Ed Bancroft, ambassador to Japan. Mondell’s early life began in St. Louis and northern Iowa, where he was sheltered by a Congregational minister after being left parentless at age six. He pursued rough work in Colorado, rising from mule skinner to camp manager, developing a rugged mind and body, a love of horseback riding, hunting, and a political career starting as mayor of Newcastle, Wyoming, then advancing through the state legislature and into Congress.
