Keith (1973-1974)
1. What does this past Kansas debater look like now?
2. What does this ex-debater now do for a living?
Keith is Edward B. Rust Professor of Political Science at Stanford University. Moreover, he is a Graduate School of Business Trust Faculty Fellow for 2005-2006. Keith has been at Stanford since 1986 -- though he apparently thought about going to Penn in the 1990s.
3. Has this former debater been "in the news"?
As someone who has published numerous articles using rational choice theory to explain domestic politics, Keith seems to operate behind the scenes of policy. However, he has been a National Fellow at the Hoover Institution, a Guest Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and a Congressional Fellow in the Senate Republican Leader's Office (Bob Dole).
In 2000, the Sloan class at Stanford gave the Teaching Excellence Award to KK.
4. What else do we know?
Keith has been a member Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1994.
His 1998 book, Pivotal Politics was published by University of Chicago Press. In 1999, the book won the Richard F. Fenno prize, presented by the American Political Science Association for "the best book on legislative politics." It also won the Neustadt prize for best book on the presidency.
His 1991 book, Information and Legislative Organization was published by University of Michigan Press. It too received APSA's Fenno Prize.

Joel (1971-1974)
1. What does this past Kansas debater look like now?
2. What does this ex-debater now do for a living?
Since 1977, Joel has been a trial lawyer. He currently works for Husch & Eppenberger LLC.
2017 Update: personal webpage.
3. Has this former debater been "in the news"?
Well, I found an entertainment monthly magazine that noted that Joel is "more than just a 'nice Jewish boy from Johnson County' - his choice of words."
According to a July 7, 2004, article in the Daily Record and the Kansas City Daily News-Press, Joel spoke at the KCLSA meeting. That's the Kansas City Legal Secretaries Association.
4. What else do we know?
Joel has authored a number of legal thrillers. The latest is Deadlocked.
Apparently, this sideline provides opportunities to travel and appear at conferences. After all, the first run printing of his second book was 120,000 copies (!).

Yes. This is from the Kansas City Business Journal, August 10, 2001:
"We're a strong grain company," said Bill Webster, vice president of Bartlett. "But we're very independent. And very private."Oh, and every now and then, the newspapers mention his former political career. He was once the Attorney General of Missouri and a gubernatorial candidate (he lost to Mel Carnahan in 1992).
"It's a long-standing, very financially strong agribusiness," said Bill Webster, Bartlett's vice president.
"We have a long and proud tradition here," he said. "We have a strong balance sheet, a strong financial position. We're a good company."
4. What else do we know?
Bill, with former Attorney General John Ashcroft, argued for Missouri in the famous Supreme Court abortion case Webster v. Reproductive Health Services (1989).
The Court, sharply divided along ideological lines, voted 5–4 to uphold the Missouri law. The Court ruled that Missouri was within constitutional bounds in passing legislation to withhold public funding for abortions and in prohibiting pre-abortion counseling by public employees. Three of the five-member majority sought to take the decision one step further by striking down Roe's blanket protection of abortions in the first trimester, but the other two justices refused to go that far. The second-trimester testing requirement was upheld, the majority having accepted the arguments for a "compelling State interest" in the second trimester.Webster was admired by former President George H.W. Bush.
Webster narrowed the constitutional protection of Roe v. Wade. The decision indicated that some degree of State regulation (and criminalization) of abortion was consistent with the Rehnquist Court's view of privacy rights.
