Walter F. Mondale, a country preacher’s kid who grew up to become an attorney general, U.S. senator, vice president and Democratic presidential nominee,  has died. He was age 93.

His family reported his death Monday evening.

“We told the truth, we obeyed the law, and we kept the peace.

“It may not sound like much, but if you’ve got that, you can handle the rest.”
