Western Michigan or University of Michigan?

There is a discrepancy between the main body of text and the sidebar regarding where Riegle got his undergraduate degree -- was it UofM or Western? 76.202.118.151 (talk) 17:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image, etc.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use an image of what Riegle looked like when he was a Senator? Wikipedia already has one available that is used at Keating Five. Also, why isn't the Keating Five scandal mentioned in this article? john k (talk) 14:15, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Party Switch?

Were his reasons or at least stated reasons for switching really differences with Nixon over Vietnam and Civil Rights? In 1973 Vietnam would have been winding down and Nixon's civil rights positions weren't really discernible from those of most liberal Democrats at the time. Obviously politicians can say anything, but this is a pivotal issue in his career and the article could use elaboration.
