	Encyclopedia: Jacob Javits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Javits was generally considered a liberal Republican, and was supportive of labor unions and movements for civil rights.
		Javits served until 1981; his 1979 diagnosis with generally fatal amytrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) led to his 1980 defeat for renomination by Al D'Amato.
		Javits' loss to D'Amato, then an obscure figure, stemmed both from his illness and the fact that he did not adjust to the rightward movement of his party in the latter part of his career.
