Lee Atwater
Harvey LeRoy "Lee" Atwater (February 27, 1951 – March 29, 1991) was an American political consultant and strategist to the Republican Party. He was an adviser to U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and chairman of the Republican National Committee.
==Childhood and early life==
Atwater was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Alma "Toddy" (Page), a school teacher, and Harvey Dillard Atwater, an insurance adjustor.〔http://www.encyclopedia.com/article-1G2-2874600027/atwater-harvey-leroy-lee.html〕 He had two siblings, Ann and Joe.〔Oreskes, Michael (March 30, 1991) (Lee Atwater, Master of Tactics For Bush and G.O.P., Dies at 40 ) ''The New York Times''. Retrieved 2010-04-11.〕 He grew up in Aiken, South Carolina. When Lee was five, his three-year-old brother, Joe, was scalded to death when he pulled a deep fryer full of hot oil onto himself.〔Brady, John (1997) ( Bad Boy - The Life and Politics of Lee Atwater (ch. 1) ) ''The Washington Post''. Da Capo Press (1996). ISBN 0-201-62733-7 Retrieved 2010-04-11.〕
As a teenager in Columbia, South Carolina, Atwater played guitar in a rock band, The Upsetters Revue. Even at the height of his political power, he would often play concerts in clubs and church basements, solo or with B.B. King, in the Washington, D.C., area. He released an album called "Red, Hot And Blue" on Curb Records, featuring Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes, Sam Moore, Chuck Jackson, and King.〔 Robert Hilburn wrote about the album in the ''Los Angeles Times'' on April 5, 1990: "The most entertaining thing about this ensemble salute to spicy Memphis-style '50s and '60s R&B is the way it lets you surprise your friends. Play a selection such as "Knock on Wood" or "Bad Boy" for someone without identifying the singer, then watch their eyes bulge when you reveal that it's the controversial national chairman of the Republican Party, Lee Atwater." During the 1960s, Atwater briefly played backup guitar for Percy Sledge.〔AllMusic: ''("Red Hot & Blue: Lee Atwater & Friends )," accessed 2008-05-23.〕
In 1973, Atwater graduated from Newberry College, a small private Lutheran institution in Newberry, South Carolina, where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alpha Tau Omega: Famous ATOs )〕 At Newberry, Atwater served as the governor of the South Carolina Student Legislature. Atwater earned a Master of Arts degree in communications from the University of South Carolina in 1977.〔 Atwater married Sally Dunbar in 1978; they had three children, Sara Lee, Ashley Page, and Sally Theodosia.〔
