The article highlights Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson's move to become Secretary of Health and Human Services, United States. Now entering his fifteenth year as governor, Thompson has for so long and so completely dominated the political arena. Before becoming governor, Thompson's twenty-year career in the State Assembly was distinguished only by painstaking party hacking and strident but ineffective advocacy of then still unfashionable right-wing views. Thompson signed one of the United States' most punitive late-term abortion bans and is on record as believing that abortion should be criminalized except where necessary to save a woman's life.
