	Chuck Robb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1977, Robb won election as a Democrat for the Lieutenant Governorship of Virginia.
		Robb was elected in 1988, defeating Maurice Dawkins with 71% of the vote.
		Robb ranked annually as one of the most ideologically centrist Senators, and he often acted as a bridge between Democratic and Republican members, preferring background dealmaking to seeking the legislative limelight.

	PICA - Crop- essay by David Broker (2005)
		Robb scans a history of humanism and modes of representation from the classical period of Socrates and Plato to the present day in an attempt to explore ideas of objectivity and subjectivity, particularly as they pertain to a specifically male association with image and body.
		It would be misleading to suggest that Robb’s interest in the implications or the possibility of a ‘sculptural objective self’ is not imbued with a complex and confusing register of emotion.
		In his portraits Robb is never clothed, he is nearly always hairless and seen with eyes closed in an attempt to produce a body that is neither an infant nor a cadaver.

	UVA Center for Politics
		In the Robb Administration, the prospect or likelihood that any member of the Governor's staff would publicly criticize or personally humiliate any member of the General Assembly, for any reason, was not merely impermissible--it was unthinkable.
		These appointments were not regarded as political rumpus rooms where disruptive, agenda driven ideologues were rewarded with recognition, and let loose to inflict damage on the agencies of government, or to tinker with the institutions of higher education, or to create pedagogical orthodoxies for the curricula of the public schools.
		Chuck Robb understood that in the practice of statecraft and the leadership of government nothing is ever gained, much can be lost, and no public interest is ever served by the confusion or the substitution of ideology for wisdom.

		After Robb made an unimpressive appearance before the grand jury--and facts came to light that cast doubt on his testimony--Ruff convinced the Justice Department to allow the senator to make an unusual second appearance to amend his statements.
