	Angus King - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The key to the King strategy was a large investment in television advertising during Maine's unusually early June primary, allowing him to emerge from the primary season on an equal footing with his partisan rivals.
		King's election was less a rarity in Maine politics, where Independent James Longley had been elected twenty years previously.
		As Governor, King's bipartisan ways proved extremely popular: in 1998, he was reelected with 59 percent of the vote to 19 percent for Republican Jim Longley Jr.

	The Angus Douglases
		Angus was compelled to resign his office of Lord Justiciar on the south side of the Forth, his Stewardry of Kirkcudbright, his Sheriffdom of Lanark, and his command of the strong castle of Thrieve.
		Angus was one of the commanders of the insurgent forces at the battle of Sauchieburn, in which the royal army was defeated, and James was murdered in his flight from the field.
		Angus and his astute brother, Sir George Douglas, did all in their power to promote the scheme of the English king for the marriage of his son, Prince Edward, to the infant Queen Mary, and gave him judicious advice as to the best mode of carrying it gradually into effect.

		Angus King: We're going to spend the next year preparing the teachers for this; we have a school district that implimented such a plan last year, and they have found that the internet resources are useful in virtually every class--English, math, science, social studies.
