Breaking: Richard Lugar, longtime GOP Senate leader, dies at 87. He was the longest-serving senator in the history of his state.
Richard Lugar, the longest-serving U.S. senator in the history of Indiana and an ardent foe of nuclear proliferation, has died. He was 87.
"All who work in his chamber," fellow Indiana Sen. Dan Coats said in 2012, "can learn from his passion for public service, sincere desire to reach out across the aisle to find common ground, and unique talent for forging coalitions and bringing people together to accomplish big things." After the Navy, he returned to the family business, then was elected to the Indianapolis School Board in 1964. Three years later, he was elected the city's mayor and was responsible for Unigov, the consolidation of the city's functions with that of neighboring communities in 1970.
