| Description | MIAMI -- Former U.S. Sen. George A. Smathers, a polished, dashing politician who forged friendships with presidents, waged war against communism, voted against several civil rights bills and was an early voice cautioning of Fidel Castro's rise to power in Cuba, died Saturday. He was 93.
The Democrat, who served two terms in the U.S. House and three in the Senate, had suffered a stroke Monday, said his son, Bruce. He lived in Indian Creek Village, an exclusive island community outside Miami. |
