DJ has some wear, tears, soiling and chips. Ann Fears Crawford was a teacher, biographer of eminent Texans and author of children's books. . She earned a… degree in drama from the University of Texas at Austin in 1953. She later received a master's degree in education from Los Angeles State College and two degrees from UT-Austin, a doctorate in American studies in 1976 and a master's in library and information science in 1988. Crawford taught at Sam Houston State University, Southwestern University and other institutions. With journalist Jack Keever, Crawford wrote John B. Connally: Portrait in Power and edited The Eagle: The Autobiography of Santa Anna, the Mexican general and dictator defeated by Houston at the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836. Dedicated to the rights of women and their increasing role in politics, Crawford wrote two books with Crystal Sasse Ragsdale: Women in Texas and Texas Women: Frontier to Future. Jack E. Keever (1938-2004) was a native of Port Arthur, Texas, Keever enrolled at the University of Texas in 1956 and never left Austin again, except for brief military service. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Keever was hired by The Associated Press. During his tenure with the AP, Keever covered the Kennedy assassination, LBJ Texas White House, and 11 governors' races. In 1966, his report of the horrific UT Tower sniper incident was the first on the wire. In addition to news writing, Keever wrote books of non-fiction including "Portrait in Power," a biography of former Gov. John B. Connally. John Bowden Connally Jr. (February 27, 1917 - June 15, 1993) was an American politician. He served as the 39th governor of Texas and as the 61st United States Secretary of the Treasury. He began his career as a Democrat and later became a Republican in 1973. Born in Floresville, Texas, Connally pursued a legal career after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin. During World War II, he served on the staff of James Forrestal and Dwight D. Eisenhower before transferring to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. After the war, he became an aide to Senator Lyndon B. Johnson. When Johnson assumed the vice presidency in 1961, he convinced President John F. Kennedy to appoint Connally to the position of United States Secretary of the Navy. Connally left the Kennedy Administration in December 1961 to run for Governor of Texas, and he held that position from 1963 to 1969. In 1963, Connally was riding in the presidential limousine when Kennedy was assassinated, and was seriously wounded. During his governorship, he was a conservative Democrat. In 1971, Republican President Richard Nixon appointed Connally as his Treasury Secretary. In this position, Connally presided over the removal of the U.S. dollar from the gold standard, an event known as the Nixon shock. Connally stepped down from the Cabinet in 1972 to lead the Democrats for Nixon organization, which campaigned for Nixon's re-election. He was a candidate to replace Vice President Spiro Agnew after the latter resigned in 1973, but Nixon chose Gerald Ford instead. He sought the Republican nomination for president in the 1980 election, but withdrew from the race after the first set of primaries. Connally did not seek public office again after 1980 and died of pulmonary fibrosis in 1993. This objective and fully documented biography is a comprehensive, in-depth study of John B. Connally; his formative years; how he build this political base in Texas; the relationship between Connally and Lyndon Johnson; how Governor Connally dominated Texas politics during the Sixties; his clash with minorities, labor, and liberals; the story of the Kennedy assassination and Connally's relationship with the Kennedys; the saga of four Texas country boys--connally, Barnes, Smith, and Yarborough; John Connally on the national scene--his switch to the Republican Party; and his relationship with Richard Nixon.
