Pulling A Heavy Load

Some would argue that
Robert Byrd, in fact, does
more than his share. He is fair
to his fellow senators, and
serves them well as majority
whip.

Furthermore, Robert Byrd
would love to become the next
Democratic Majority Leader,
and since Mike Mansfield
would probably like to see him
get it, his chances are better
than average. Those"little
favors" he performs daily
could come in handy during
the next caucus for majority
leader.

At any rate, Robert Byrd,
with his humble beginnings,
is a good man to know in
political Washington...
