John Ashcroft: Son of a Preacher Man

The August 4th San Fran­cis­co Chron­i­cle has a fas­ci­nat­ing arti­cle on John Ashcroft called Son of a Preach­er Man. The arti­cle is pret­ty fac­tu­al, although the jour­nal­ist’s dis­like of Ashcroft’s val­ue sys­tem shows through.

In case you did­n’t know it, John Ashcroft (our cur­rent U.S. Attor­ney Gen­er­al) is an Assem­blies of God layper­son, and his father J. Robert Ashcroft was respon­si­ble for the found­ing of Chi Alpha.
