ship shApe 185 “dastardly, barbaric act against humanity,” an outraged Jackson told reporters, and fresh evidence that Reagan was right earlier that year when he called the Soviet Union an “evil empire.” Afterward, Dotzauer told Jackson he’d never sounded better. Scoop smiled. “You know, I was pretty good, wasn’t I?” 8 Unable to shake the cough, Jackson went to the doctor, then to bed. He died that night of a ruptured aorta. The Gortons called Helen to offer their condolences. Slade and Sally, together with Ritajean Butterworth, also went to visit Scoop’s grieving staff. “He wanted to comfort them,” Butterworth recalls, “and he wanted to tell them he’d do anything they needed.” The president, who’d lost a staunch supporter of his defense and foreign policy agendas, praised Jackson as “a wise and revered statesman.” Henry Kissinger said America had lost “a true patriot.” George Will, the Pulitzer Prize-winning conservative columnist, said Scoop was a hero for all seasons. Ted Kennedy and Bob Dole agreed that he was a giant in the Senate. And Warren G. Magnuson, who never imagined he would outlive his abstemious younger friend and colleague, was stunned and sorrowed. “So much for clean living,” a former Magnuson staffer cracked with sad irony at the reception following the funeral. 9 The new senator from Washington State would be Daniel J. Evans. AfteR thRee teRMs As goveRnoR, Evans took on the politically challenging job of heading The Evergreen State College in Olympia, the innovative school he helped establish. “Greeners” designed their own degree paths and received evaluations instead of grades. Critics, including Evans’ successor, Dixy Lee Ray, viewed it as a haven for hippies and their leftist profs. Evans was the perfect choice for president of the fledgling college, deftly navigating the legislative minefield and shoring up Evergreen’s academics. By 1983, his sixth year, the kids still had long hair, wet dogs and wild ideas but it was rated one of the best liberal arts schools in the West. The week before Jackson’s stunningly unexpected death, Evans made an appointment to meet with the chairwoman of the Evergreen trustees. He was going to tell her he would stay on for 10 more months. He wanted to finish the autobiography he’d been pecking at for years, then do something else. 10 Gorton urged him to seek the appointment to Scoop’s seat. They’d be a great team, he said, thinking back to their first meeting during Dan’s

Secretary of State Ralph Munro, a former aide and good friend, prodded him to call Governor Spellman. The Korean Air tragedy was all over the radio as Evans drove to the Governor’s Mansion. “Good God,” he said to himself, “with this many problems and the challenges that we’re facing . . . how can you not want to really get involved?” 11 Once appointed, Evans was instantly in campaign mode to serve the last five years of Jackson’s term. With Slade joining him on the stump, Evans handily outpolled Lloyd Cooney in a primary barely a month later, then took 55 percent of the vote against Congressman Mike Lowry. Jim Waldo and Steve Excell, the leading strategists in the Evans campaign, had deftly contrasted Lowry’s bearded rumpledness and hot rhetoric with Evans’ senatorial mien. 12 goRton And JAcKson had conducted hearings in Spokane, Seattle and D.C. on their proposal to protect from development an additional 1.6 mil- The Washington State congressional delegation in 1982: sitting, from left, Gorton, Pritchard and Evans; standing, from left: Rod Chandler, Al Swift, Norm Dicks, Tom Foley, Sid Morrison, Mike Lowry and Don Bonker.
