Colorado Democrat Gary Hart charged that "the U.S. Senate has seen an outrageous act.'' Swiftly, the senatorial anger zeroed in on Byrd. By now, Byrd was burning too.

He has turned his white-shingled home in Lexington, ten miles from his old office in Boston, into a headquarters for his campaign to improve the care of the aged in his community. His initial target was Lexington's Golden Age Club, which Goodwin felt was not concerned with the aged poor, many of whom were forced to live on welfare.
