Thus Byrd was shaken by last week's filibuster, which he had striven mightily to head off for fear that it would tarnish the Senate's image and kill a major part of Carter's energy bill. That fear-and a certain anger at the inconvenience-was widespread among colleagues, but Byrd managed to be philosophical about the mercurial nature of his beloved institution. "The Senate is very much like a violin," said the leader, who plays one himself. "The sound will change with the weather, the dampness, the humidity. The Senate is a place of great...
...great fault, and strength, lay in his anger, a young man's outrage at the contradictions between the way things are and the way they are supposed to be. As a student, he fought his asthma and walked the length of the South American continent, working for a time as a doctor in a Peruvian leper colony, and then as a sort of itinerant medic in the northern countries of the continent.

Unfortunately, Paul Robeson never really gets around to shedding light on that problem. It doesn't seem likely that a one-man show could ever...
Just 20 minutes before the press conference, LaBelle called to say that however much she regretted the decision, she had appreciated Carter's support of her husband. When Carter hung up, he was engulfed by a combination of sadness and anger at the situation. Powell and other aides worried about whether he could control his emotions when the TV cameras bunked on. "It's going to be a difficult time for you," Powell told the President. "You might need something to read, or to glance at." Answered Carter: "No, if I can make it through the letter [Lance...
