Governor: An Oral Biography of Robert D. Ray

In the 1960s and 1970s the federal government gave new powers - and monies - to a handful of long-standing governors across the country. Along with Nelson Rockefeller, Dan Evans, Bill Milliken and John Rhodes, Iowa's Robert Ray, a moderate Republican, used the new power to build their respective states and expand the power of the office in ways that reverberate today. This is a unique oral biography of one such transformation, and one powerful politician.
