Former Marlboro Man?[edit]

I seem to remember having heard on NPR while he was still in Washington that Pressler had at one point been one of the Marlboro Men. Is this accurate?Badbilltucker 01:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you're thinking of Clint Roberts. RJASE1 18:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2014 U.S. Senate election[edit]

Judging from the bombast in this section, Pressler's 2014 media director must have been very busy. The glowing accolades bestowed on the losing candidate here is 5x that found in the article about the winner, Mike Rounds. This should be cleaned up and pared down.

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Larry Pressler. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

worked as a lawyer before joining the Army and serving in Vietnam 1966-68?[edit]

On 2020-04-01, this included: "He briefly worked as a lawyer before joining the United States Army and serving in the Vietnam War from 1966 until 1968. After returning from Vietnam as a first lieutenant, he served for several years in the United States Department of State as a Foreign Service Officer.^[1] He later attended the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and Harvard Law School where he graduated in 1971.^[2]^[3] In 1970 he became the business manager of the Harvard Law Record.^[4]"

It's not credible that he worked as a lawyer without a law degree before joining the Army and serving in Vietnam in 1966-68. I deleted the claim that he worked as a lawyer before joining the Army. DavidMCEddy (talk) 19:51, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DavidMCEddy: Thank you for noticing that mistake it must be a leftover of the page before I started working on it and I accidentally included it in the sentence. - User:Jon698 talk 20:40 1 April 2020
