 Thomas Eagleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graduating from Amhert College in 1950, Eagleton served as Missouri's Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor, won a U.S. Senate seat in 1968, and sought the Vice Presidency in 1972.
Although many Americans supported Eagleton's candidacy, his vice-presidential hopes evaporated when it was revealed shortly after the party convention that he had been hospitalized on three occasions for depression and had undergone electroshock therapy.
Eagleton served in public office for 30 years, the last 18 of which (1968 to 1987) were in the U.S. Senate, where he was active in matters dealing with foreign relations, intelligence, defense, education, health care and the environment.
