From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
John Danforth has presided over the funeral of a president, groomed a Supreme Court justice, investigated the government’s response to the Waco siege, tangled with the religious right and tackled civil war in Sudan.
The former U.S. senator, Missouri attorney general and ordained minister — not to mention author, diplomat and philanthropist — has been staring down his latest challenge from his office in the 35th floor of downtown’s tallest building. It’s hard not to be impressed by the sweeping view of the Gateway Arch and Mississippi River.
