Abstract:

Papers of Kole, a former chief (1970-1989) of the Washington, D.C. bureau of the Milwaukee Journal from 1970 to 1989. Prior to that time he was a staff writer for the Milwaukee Journal and the capital bureau (1963-1970). The papers consist of draft articles, clippings, memoranda and correspondence, handwritten and typed notes, and research material. Kole's coverage of Wisconsin and national government, politics and politicians is represented by files on Les Aspen, Robert Kasten, Melvin Laird, Gaylord Nelson, David Obey, Alvin O'Konski, William Proxmire, Henry Reuss, Clement Zablocki, Henry Maier and others. Documented issues relating to Wisconsin include Project ELF, the Ice Age Trail, and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Some of the files contain draft articles by other members of the Washington, D.C. bureau: Frank A. Aukofer, Laurence “Con” Eklund, and Ira Kapenstein.
