Just over a half-century ago, in the election of 1972, Richard Nixon was handily reelected as president and Bill Cohen won his first seat in Congress.
Having grown up in Bangor, the son of a baker and an all-state basketball player, Cohen attended Bowdoin College and Boston University Law School. Eventually he returned to his home city, where he would become mayor before winning his first election for national office. Appointed to the House Judiciary Committee, he made headlines, two years later, as one of seven Republican committee members who voted to support a resolution of impeachment against the president.
