Abstrakt: It was probably in the late 1970s, when I was fairly new to the Senate, that Robert Byrd taught me a lesson about the institution he loved. This was before TV had become the great forum for over-the-top oratory, and I had made a speech on the Senate floor, venting my rage over something. I've forgotten the exact issue that had upset me, but I do recall that in my anger I cast the Senate in an unflattering light. To me, my remarks seemed perfectly appropriate: I was out of sorts, and the American people, then as now, had little regard for Congress. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
