Zell Miller, Georgia governor and senator with unpredictable streak, dies at 86


Mr. Miller helped resuscitate Bill Clinton’s failing 1992 presidential campaign and ended up becoming one of the Republican Party’s most vocal supporters. I’m proud that out of that could come someone who could make it to the governor’s office,” Mr. Miller told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2006. An academic and debate star at Young Harris College, Mr. Miller won a partial scholarship to Emory University in Atlanta. Roy Barnes (D) asked Mr. Miller to go to Washington and fill the void left by Sen. Paul Coverdell’s (R) death. “Churchill once said that history was going to be kind to him because he was going to write it,” Mr. Miller said.
