- Synopsis
- W. Russell Arrington's name may not have been a household word across the country, but everything about him was classic American - from his proud immigrant ancestry and auspicious birthdate (July 4th) - to his rise from poverty to wealth and consummate legal, business, and political careers. Growing up in modest circumstances, Arrington became an attorney and headed for Chicago. He combined a successful law practice with major accomplishments in the business world, and later emerged as a civic leader. From his days of "citizen legislator" to "powerhouse" politician, the twenty-six year political career of Illinois State Senator W. Russell Arrington characterized the evolution of a quintessential legislator perhaps as no other in the twentieth century.
