Richard Keith 'Dick' Armey holds a Ph.D. in
economics from the University of Oklahoma
and taught economics at North Texas State
University--now UNT--for a number of years
before being elected to the U. S. House of
Representatives in 1984. What set him
apart as a professor of economics was
his use of shadow animals to illustrate
his Texomaesque interpretation of the
theories of Milton Friedman.
