principal architect of the landmark environmental legislation of the early
1970s, working successfully to build bipartisan support for it. He was the
Democratic Party's Vice Presidential nominee in 1968, and the early
frontrunner for the Presidential nomination four years later until, during

harsh newspaper attack. Muskie concluded his public service as U.S. Secretary
of State (1980-1981). Worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
