As a senator from Delaware since 1973, Joe Biden has been a witness to the major events of the past four decades and a relentless actor in trying to shape recent American history. Here he reveals what these experiences taught him about himself, his colleagues, and the institutions of government. He shows how the guiding principles he learned early in life--the obligation to work to make people's lives better, to honor family and faith, to get up and do the right thing no matter how hard you've been knocked down, to be honest and straightforward, and, above all, to keep your promises--are the foundations on which he has based his life's work as husband, father, and public servant.--From publisher description. 000324321 60010 $$aBiden, Joseph R.,$$cJr. 000324321 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bCongress.$$bSenate$$vBiography. 000324321 650_0 $$aLegislators$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000324321 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1945-1989. 000324321 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1989- 000324321 85200 $$bgen$$hE840.8.B54$$iA3$$i2007 000324321 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0718/2007019603.html 000324321 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:324321$$pGLOBAL_SET 000324321 980__ $$aBIB 000324321 980__ $$aBOOK
