Description: "In ten unsuccessful runs at the U.S. presidency, Harold E. Stassen became infamous as a perennial candidate. But his lifetime of achievements--as Minnesota's 'boy governor,' as a war hero, as a founder of the United National, as a nationally prominent Republican--are now mostly forgotten. It's time to consider Stassen, again." -- Page [4] cover.
