Statesman: George Mitchell and the Art of the Possible

George Mitchell is much more than a Senator from Maine. From a time when opposing parties worked together to accomplish things for the good of the nation, rather than the good of the party, Mitchell was an attorney and then a judge in Maine before his Senate run. Known for his work on the environment, the brokering of the peace in Ireland, and efforts in the Middle East, Mitchell is one of Maine’s most famous political figures.
