| | Online NewsHour: The Life of Paul Tsongas -- January 20, 1997 |
 | | JIM LEHRER: Paul Tsongas, the former Massachusetts Senator, in 1992 presidential candidate, died over the weekend from liver failure and pneumonia. |
 | | In 1992, he not only shaped the entire debate of that campaign, the fact that we’re seriously debating a balanced budget in 1997 is testimony to Paul Tsongas, who treated voters like grown-ups, albeit grown-ups with an unlimited capacity for cold showers and root canal work sometimes. |
 | | PAUL GIGOT, Wall Street Journal: New Hampshire was the perfect place for him because he did have time, because they did want you to dot your "i’s" and cross your "t’s", and he had a comprehensive program. |
