The longest-serving member of the United States Senate, Byrd has served the people of West Virginia for 54 years. From his unique vantage point, Byrd focuses his observations on underappreciated virtues like personal responsibility, careful consideration before making decisions, and a sense of decency and fairness even toward fierce opponents. Enlightened by a wide-ranging knowledge of American history and a love for the guiding principles of the Constitution, Byrd's observations sharpen the focus of the historical moment in which we find ourselves.--From publisher description. 000322165 650_0 $$aPresidents$$zUnited States. 000322165 650_0 $$aPolitical leadership$$zUnited States. 000322165 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government. 000322165 7001_ $$aKettmann, Steve. 000322165 85200 $$bgen$$hJK516$$i.B97$$i2008 000322165 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0835/2008012469-b.html 000322165 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0835/2008012469-d.html 000322165 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:322165$$pGLOBAL_SET 000322165 980__ $$aBIB 000322165 980__ $$aBOOK 000322165 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
