Wallace and his third wife, the former Lisa Taylor, meet with Vice President George Bush and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton at a lobster bake at Bush's residence at Kennebunkport, Maine, July 30, 1983. The third Mrs. Wallace, whom the governor married in 1981, was 30 years his junior and half of a country-western singing duo, Mona and Lisa, who had performed during his campaign in 1968.

Poppy Bush, for actions ranging from Iran-Contra to the Panama invasion to the Highway of Death in Kuwait, has established his record. George Wallace is known as a racist who reformed late in life. One thing seldom mentioned these days is his running mate in 1968 was Gen. Curtis LeMay, who exhibited insubordination to President Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. LeMay, along with his boss Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer and CIA director Allen Dulles, told JFK they wanted to launch a sneak attack on the USSR.
