	Commonweal: A good man is found: Mr. Danforth went to Washington - Senator John C. Danforth
		Danforth is voluntarily retiring from the Senate after eighteen years, not because he is fed up with Congress but because he wants to move on to the next phase of his life.
		But Danforth would not abandon Thomas, who Danforth believed was subjected to an unacceptable process by the Senate Judiciary Committee - with no rules of evidence and not even the facade of impartiality - in which one person's unproven and unprovable accusation could all but destroy another.
		Danforth said to me recently that in "anything you do, you bring to it the totality of who you are." His respect for people, his intellect, his faithfulness, and his humor have made him a good Republican and a great senator.

	Walk Softly and Carry a Rubber Stick (washingtonpost.com)
		The thing that Danforth finds really strange here is a State Department rule that prohibits the U.S. ambassador from using a government limousine to ferry his wife, Sally Danforth, from the official residence at the Waldorf Towers to diplomatic functions.

	The Austin Chronicle Politics: Killing the Messenger
		Danforth reportedly told Johnston that he could have brought charges against FBI attorney Jacqueline Brown, who, Danforth's preliminary report says, "lied to the Office of Special Counsel during the course of this investigation." Instead, he targeted Johnston.
		Danforth's 17-page indictment of Johnston, which includes two counts of obstruction of justice and three counts of lying to investigators and a federal grand jury, focuses on what Johnston knew about the FBI's use of pyrotechnic tear gas during its final assault on the Davidians' home.
		Danforth said the Jahns should be fired because they went to "great lengths" to conceal their knowledge of the FBI's use of pyrotechnic tear gas rounds.

	Love in Moderation: The New Wave Theology of John C. Danforth
		John C. Danforth, an Episcopal minister and former Republican Senator from Missouri, has weighed in on Christian involvement in social issues.
		Danforth writes that “Moderate Christians are less certain about when and how our beliefs can be translated into statutory form, not because of a lack of faith in God but because of a healthy acknowledgment of the limitations of human beings.”1 Since he raises the question of homosexuality, where is the ambiguity on this subject?
		Danforth says that moderates like him “attend church, read the Bible and pray.” This must mean that he has some knowledge of the Bible and believes it has something to say on this issue.

	The Austin Chronicle Politics: Naked City
		That appears to be the thinking behind Waco Special Counsel John C. Danforth's apparent plan to indict former federal prosecutor Bill Johnston, an outspoken critic of the Department of Justice's activities during and after the deadly standoff outside Waco between federal police and the Branch Davidians in 1993.
		Even if Danforth wins a criminal case against Johnston, which is far from certain, an indictment may reveal some unsavory tactics by prosecutors and investigators working for Danforth, an ordained minister who has long prided himself on his rectitude.
		Danforth points out that FBI commander Dick Rogers failed to correct Reno when she told Congress in 1993 that no pyrotechnic tear gas rounds were used against the Davidians during the final assault.

		The appellees defend s 3(3) on the ground that it was enacted in the light of the General Assembly's "perception of marriage as an institution," Brief for Appellee Danforth 34, and that any major change in family status is a decision to be made jointly by the marriage partners.
		Appellee Danforth's motion to alter or amend the judgment, so far as the second sentence of s 6(1) was concerned, was denied by the District Court.

		Danforth is openly scornful of people who, in his view, make the public cynical about the federal government.
		But perhaps Danforth should ask himself whether seeking to send a whistle-blower to the penitentiary -- to the exclusion of everybody else -- is really the cure for public cynicism.
