He is the namesake of a scholarship that sends American students to study abroad in a pair of contiguous European polities. He failed to win the governorship of his native state in 1974 when he lost to James Longley, after which he served as a justice for the US District Court for that state. His stints in the corporate world have included serving as a director for FedEx and Staples, and in 2004 he replaced Michael Eisner as Chairman of Disney's Board of Directors. He was admitted to the Order of the British Empire for his work for peace in Northern Ireland. This Democrat entered the Senate initially as the replacement for Edmund Muskie in 1980. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as well as NAFTA were among the legislation passed during his time as Senate Majority Leader. He currently serves as Obama's Special Envoy for Middle East Peace. The Arab-Israeli conflict and steroids in baseball have been the topics of two reports named for, for 10 points, this former Senator from Maine.
