John O. Pastore, (1907 – 2000) Rhode Island governor and U.S. senator. The son of Italian immigrants, the Democrat Pastore became one of the most respected senators ever produced by Rhode Island. His political career included about four years as the state's governor and 25 years in the Senate; he was the first Italian American to serve in either role. As senator, Pastore worked hard for passage of the first nuclear test ban treaty, and he became a power on atomic energy and TV regulation, heading committees dealing with both. "What one man creates today, another will imitate and emulate tomorrow," Pastore said prophetically in 1966 when he introduced a Senate resolution urging a halt to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. "Any nation willing to pay the price can achieve nuclear capability."
Artist John Fawcett (1909-1992) earned international acclaim during an outstanding thirty-seven year career with the Providence Journal Company. He was an accomplished sports and editorial cartoonist, and a champion for the rights of others.
