AMBROSE, STEPHEN

 

LEAVES HISTORIC LEGACY.  UNO professor firmly in Colin Powell’s camp

 

Seated in the comfortable clutter of his red, white and blue office on the shores of Bay St. Louis, Miss., Stephen Ambrose leaned forward to make his case.

 

 “Colin Powell is the best man in America and should be president,” the University of New Orleans historian said.  “This man is extraordinary.  Everything I would say about Dwight Eisenhower, I would say about Powell.”

 

It was a bold statement coming from the scholar who is Eisenhower’s biographer, the military expert Ike hand-picked to edit his personal papers.

 

But Ambrose is on a tear, already busy on this newest and splashiest adventure.

 

Ambrose, 59, will deliver his final lecture at UNO this afternoon, and retire from teaching this spring.

 

After that, Ambrose plans to devote himself full time to Powell’s as-yet unofficial campaign, offering his services as a speech writer and adviser..

 

In Ambrose’s mind, there’s nothing more honorable than a meaty cause.

 

He has joined a coterie of like-minded Powell supporters, wealthy benefactors he refuses to identify but calls “some of the most powerful men in the country.” 

 

So far, Ambrose’s contribution to the Powell cause has been substantive.  He has launched an offensive on the opinion pages of newspapers nationwide, planting the idea of a Powell White House.  He has taken his crusade to radio and television news programs.  He has staked his considerable reputation on Powell’s abilities.  He blasts criticisms of the retired general with authoritative ferocity.
