Pennsylvania Gov. Robert P. Casey, author of"one of the most significant speeches in the last decade," dies

The party leadership barred Mr. Casey from addressing the delegates. The Casey obituaries mentioned the event, but they did not fully capture its significance. It was a watershed in the nation's political-moral discourse."
