Historical Figure

Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. was a United States Senator from Massachusetts and served as U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam 1963-64, 1965-67, to West Germany 1968-69; chief U.S. negotiator at Vietnam peace talks in Paris 1969; presidential emissary to The Vatican 1970-75. He was also the Republican nominee for Vice President under Richard Nixon in the 1960 Presidential election which went to John F. Kennedy.

Fun Fact

During the campaign for President, Richard Nixon was furious at Lodge for his speech in New York promising to name an African American to the cabinet, and accused him of spending too much time campaigning with minority groups, instead of the white majority (Nixon didn’t use those exact politically correct words though).
