He was president of the Bell & Howell Corporation from 1949 to 1964. In 1966, he was elected to the United States Senate from Illinois as a Republican; he served for three terms (18 years) until 1985, when he was defeated by Paul Simon, and was mentioned as a GOP presidential hopeful from 1968 through 1988. During his Senate career, he concentrated on business and foreign relations.〔Stephen Hess and David S. Broder. ''The Republican Establishment: The Present and Future of the G.O.P.'' New York: Harper & Row, 1967.〕 ==Early life and education== Charles Harting Percy was born in Pensacola, the seat of Escambia County in far northwestern Florida, to Edward H. Percy and the former Elizabeth Harting.〔 His father, an Alabama native descended from illustrious colonial-era Mississippians and Virginians, was at various times an automobile salesman and bank cashier. His Illinois-born mother was a concert violinist. Edward was a son of Charles Brown Percy and Helen Leila Herndon of the powerful Herndon family of Virginia.〔("Edward H. Percy" ), Rootsweb〕 Elizabeth Harting was a daughter of Phineas Fredrick Harting and Belle Aschenbach.〔("Elizabeth Harting" ), Rootsweb〕 The family moved to Chicago when Percy was an infant. As a child, he was notable for his entrepreneurial energy and held jobs while attending school. In the mid-1930s, his pluck brought him to the attention of his Sunday school teacher, Joseph McNabb, the president of Bell & Howell, then a small camera company. Percy completed high school at New Trier High School. He entered the University of Chicago on a half tuition scholarship. He completed his degree in Economics in 1941.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles H. Percy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
