Ann Richards, R.I.P.
By RICK LYMAN
Ann W. Richards, the silver-haired Texas activist who galvanized the 1988 Democratic National Convention with her tart keynote speech and was the state’s 45th governor until upset in 1994 by an underestimated challenger named George W. Bush, died Wednesday at her home in Austin. She was 73.
Ms. Richards died, surrounded by her four children, of complications from the esophageal cancer, the Associated Press reported.
