"That willingness to compromise in the face of overwhelming opposition seems characteristic of the affable, lifelong Vermonter."
The "Stafford" in all the recent debate about student loans, although some of his successors doubt he would be happy with the current proposals (see here): Robert Stafford served in the U.S. Navy, including in World War II and the Korean War, and in state government, rising to Governor of Vermont, 1959-1961; served in the U.S. House of Representatives, 1961-1971, and in the U.S. Senate from 1971-1989 (some details here).
