Education in the United States: An Interview with Lowell Weicker.
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n8 p570,572-73 Apr 1996
Although Virginia's Governor Lowell Weicker comes from a privileged background, he has drawn himself close to the people. A liberal Republican with some strong conservative values, Weicker believes privilege means sacrifice in terms of time commitment and tax effort. Weicker has spearheaded legislation to benefit learning-disabled and economically disadvantaged students. (MLH)
