Sam Nunn, a Sam Nunn School of International Affairs distinguished professor and namesake, has written a co-op entitled, "I was fortunate enough to have Richard Lugar as a trusted friend" in The Washington Post.
"Dick began his Senate career representing Indiana in 1977 at a time when our politics and our nation could have come apart. Over the previous four years, we’d had three presidents and four vice presidents, a presidential resignation, the installation of two vice presidents via the never-before-used 25th Amendment, and a close 1976 presidential election. Despite this turmoil, Dick set a new example of civility, working across party lines and helping to heal our divisions, while underscoring the essential role of Congress in advancing our nation’s interests around the world."
