That was the late Tom Lantos.

" CALIFORNIA Democrat Tom Lantos announced Wednesday that he will retire from Congress at the end of his term to concentrate on the newest battle of his courageous career: fighting cancer. We received this news with sadness, yet we know that if anyone can go one on one with cancer and win, it is Lantos.

Few members of Congress have been as passionately pro-American as the remarkable Tom Lantos. At age 16 he fled the Nazis, twice escaping labor camps after the invasion of his native Budapest. After teaching economics for 30 years at San Francisco State University, in 1980 he decided to run for Congress against an incumbent Republican so formidable that no other Democrat would take him on.
