You make an interesting observation about ex-Congressman William Miller, I didn’t know he was Catholic. What I remember reading was that everybody liked him, even his enemies. During the 1964 campaign, he would play cards with members of the D.C. Press Corps and always win, yet they had a ball with him. I wish he had run for statewide office in 1966 or been appointed to the U.S. Senate in 1968, but perhaps the Goldwater connection would have hurt in New York.
His son and namesake ran for Congress in the early 1990’s unsuccessfully. He currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of many transplanted Yankees there.
Miller sounds like he was a solid guy
His daugther though is a lib radio host and she loves the ladies.
Has anyone else seen those “Miller 64” beer commercials?
