	Adlai Stevenson
		Adlai Ewing Stevenson (February 5, 1900-July 14, 1965), politician and diplomat, was twice the Democratic Party's candidate for President of the United States.
		Stevenson spent 1933-34 in Washington, D.C. where he was counsel to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal." He returned to Washington, from 1941-44, to serve as special assistant and personal counsel to Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox.
		Stevenson's version of liberal religion was sufficiently broad that he apparently thought it proper to support both his mother's and his father's churches.

	Adlai Stevenson Summary
		Stevenson's intelligence was the subject of much ridicule among anti-intellectuals; it was during the 1952 campaign that Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California labelled Stevenson an "egghead." In the 1952 presidential election against Dwight D. Eisenhower, Stevenson secured only nine states and lost the Electoral College vote 442 to 89.
		Stevenson's legendary "Don't wait for the translation" speech to the Soviet ambassador Valerian Zorin on the 25 October 1962 in front of the Security Council of the United Nations during the Cuban Missile Crisis was in part replicated for dramatic effect in the sixth Star Trek film, The Undiscovered Country.
		Stevenson also features in a somewhat bizarre conspiracy theory which has circulated on the internet for some years; the theory suggests that Stevenson provided the inspiration for, makes a cameo appearance as, or is in fact the same person as Gogo, a character from the 1993 videogame classic Final Fantasy 6.

	Adlai Stevenson - By David Greenberg - Slate Magazine
		Stevenson, the president said, possessed the family name and the gubernatorial record and had strong credentials as a Cold Warrior to boot.
		Stevenson brought on board his campaign Bernard DeVoto, John Kenneth Galbraith, and Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and thus began his prolonged romance with the set that columnist Joseph Alsop famously dubbed the "eggheads." They came by the dozens to hear his celebrated speeches, full of finely crafted phrases and sophisticated witticisms.
		Just so, Adlai Stevenson's inability to prevail in the tawdry arena of electioneering became a flickering testament to the conviction that politics and decency don't mix—which, true or not, provides a comforting refuge every time a Mondale, a Dukakis, or a Bradley goes down in defeat.
