A life of courage, politics came down to 1 vote for McCain By NANCY BENAC Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — For John McCain, a lifetime of cour- age, contradictions and contrarian- ism came down to one vote, in the middle of the night, in the twilight of his career. The fate of President Donald Trump’s long effort to repeal Barack Obama’s health care law hung in the balance as a Senate roll call dragged on past 1 a.m. on a July night in 2017. Then came McCain — 80 years old, recently diagnosed with brain cancer, his face still scarred from sur- gery, striding with purpose toward the well of the Senate. The Arizona Republican raised his right arm, paused for dramatic effect and flashed a deter- mined thumbs-down, drawing gasps from both sides of the aisle. Trump’s health care bill was dead. McCain’s life- long reputation as free thinker, never to be intim- idated, was very much alive. McCain It was the capstone of a political career that had taken McCain from the House to the Sen- ate to the Republican presidential nomination, but never to his ultimate goal, the White House. McCain, who faced down his cap- tors in a Vietnamese prison of war camp and later turned his trademark defiance into a political asset, died Saturday. He was 81. With his irascible grin and fighter-pilot moxie, McCain won election to the House from Arizona twice and the Senate six times. But twice he was thwarted in his quest for the presidency. His upstart bid for president in 2000 took flight in New Hamp- shire only to be quickly flat- tened in South Carolina. Eight years later, he fought back from the brink of defeat to win the GOP nomination, only to be over- powered by Democrat Obama in the general election. McCain had chosen a little-known Alaska governor as his running mate for that race, and in the process helped turn Sarah Palin into a political celebrity. Neil Simon, Broadway’s master of comedy, dies at 91 By MARK KENNEDY AP Entertainment Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Playwright Neil Simon, a master of comedy whose laugh-filled hits such as “The Odd Couple,” ‘’Barefoot in the Park” and his “Brighton Beach” trilogy dominated Broadway for decades, has died. He was 91. Simon died early Sunday of com- plications from pneumonia at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Man- hattan, said Bill Evans, a longtime friend and spokes- man for Shubert Organiza- tion theaters. In the second half of the 20th century, Simon was the American theater’s most successful and prolific play- wright, often chronicling middle class issues and Simon fears. Starting with “Come Blow Your Horn” in 1961 and con- tinuing into the next century, he rarely stopped working on a new play or musical. His list of credits is staggering. The theater world quickly mourned his death , includ- ing Tony Award-winning actor and playwright Har- vey Fierstein, who tweeted that Simon “could write a joke that would make you laugh, define the character, the situation, and even the world’s problems.” EOU announces spring 2018 graduates LA GRANDE — East- ern Oregon University awarded 754 degrees during the 2017-18 academic year.
