Growing Up Straight by Senator Wyden's Dad

"Wyden attended the Goldschmidt School until he left Nazi Germany for the United States in 1937.

 After studying at City University of New York, he served with the U.S. Army's Psychological Warfare Division in Europe during World War II.

After the war, Wyden began a career in journalism, during which he worked as a reporter for The Wichita Eagle, a feature writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Washington correspondent for Newsweek magazine, a contributing editor for The Saturday Evening Post in Chicago and San Francisco, articles editor for McCall's, and executive editor for Ladies' Home Journal.

Wyden authored or coauthored nine books, and numerous articles that appeared in major magazines.

In 1969, he co-authored with his wife a book on homosexuality entitled Growing Up Straight; the book summed up research on the topic, which suggested homosexuality could be prevented with a close paternal relationship in childhood."

"Neil Edward Goldschmidt (born June 16, 1940) is an American businessman and Democratic politician from the state of Oregon who held local, state and federal offices over three decades. 

After serving as the governor of Oregon, Goldschmidt was once considered the most influential figure in the state's politics.

 His legacy and career were severely damaged by revelations that he had raped a young teenage girl during his first term as mayor of Portland."

" In 2003, Governor Ted Kulongoski appointed him to the Oregon Board of Higher Education, a position he resigned after admitting he had a sexual relationship with a minor girl 30 years earlier."

Ted also likes Gordon Sondland and gave America a Three Amigo Treason Expert on "Transactional" everything.

"n 1970, Neil Goldschmidt entered politics in Oregon. This began three decades of being in the public eye in the state, serving as mayor of Oregon's most populous city and as the state's governor. 

In between he served in the Cabinet of President Jimmy Carter."

Witch  sic which reminds me of Steve Novick whom I admire and respect:

"Novick was born with significant physical disabilities, including a missing left hand and missing fibula bones in his legs. As a result, he uses a hook prosthesis and stands approximately 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 m) tall.

His disabilities have prompted him to use the slogan "The Fighter with the Hard Left Hook." His levity about his physical stature has drawn both positive and negative reviews from the press.


In 1977, after low funding caused Novick's junior high school to close, he enrolled at the University of Oregon. After graduating at age 18, he attended Harvard Law School, earning a law degree at age 21"

"Novick is an attorney and former U.S. Department of Justice litigator. 

He spent nearly ten years arguing on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), culminating in the Love Canal case in upstate New York, on which he served as lead counsel.

Beginning in 1999, Novick focused on the Oregon Lottery's payments to retailers, which he contended were illegally high. He and other education advocates brought a lawsuit challenging the lottery's payment, the lawsuit was successful at the Oregon Court of Appeals.

 The Oregon Supreme Court overturned the decision, declaring the Lottery's payments legal"
