Anderson of Illinois pivot on housing bill and leadership rise
E Albin Anderson and Martha King Anderson, long married with five children, rose from Rockford lawyer to Illinois state attorney and U S congressman. A Harvard Law School graduate, he served in the army, joined diplomacy, and returned to practice law before entering Congress in 1960. He shifted from conservative to reformer in the late 1960s, breaking with the GOP Old Guard by supporting an open housing bill after MLK's assassination era riots, helping him become House Republican chairman.
