	Viewpoint: Sargent Shriver and the politics of life
		Shriver, physically hale, intellectually alert, an attender of daily Mass and a carrier of a rosary with well-worn wooden beads, he can look back on four decades of public service and a record of successful innovation unmatched by any contemporary leader in or out of government.
		Special Olympics, which Shriver and his wife of nearly 50 years have nurtured since 1968, and which their son Timothy, a Catholic University of America Ph.D., now runs, revolutionized and humanized the care of mentally disabled children and adults.
		That Shriver has had a happy home life, and seen each of his five children embrace other-centered, not self-centered, lives, is one reason he was able to say once to a Peace Corps reunion audience: “The politics of death is bureaucracy, routine, rules, status quo.

	Review of a Biography of Sargent Shriver
		The book explains the complicated relationship of Shriver with the Kennedy family, showing his loyalty to the Kennedys even at times at the cost of his possible election to high political office.
		Shriver has, like More, a strong Catholic piety and belief, a commitment to family, a gift for leadership, high ideals, and a spirit of service to both friends and country that has been at times sacrificial to his own interest.
		Shriver's example is of great importance for our own day because it demonstrates that it is possible to bring strong Christian convictions to political debate and action within the great multiplicity of possible answers to concrete social problems, both domestic and international.

		In spite of his accomplishments, Shriver has often been labeled a "lightweight."

		While Shriver was interested in the inner cities and welcome in rural villages or presidential palaces overseas, he was out of place among workaday Americans and didn't win a single primary when he sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976.
