This year much of what Carter gets from Congress will be largely due to Byrd, a night-school lawyer who is a first-rate legislative technician. His job is to act as the Senate's traffic cop, controlling the flow of legislation and debate. A master of the Senate's rules and precedents, Byrd hustles through an endless round of meetings with committee chairmen, powerful Senate barons and rebellious mavericks, trying to head off trouble.

...year than steel. Nonetheless, steel mills last week announced price increases that clustered around 5.5% to take effect early in 1978. The increases come just when the Carter Administration is putting the finishing touches on a plan to offer financial aid to the ailing industry and sharply reduce the flow of cut-price foreign steel into the U.S. But the Administration reacted to the price boosts mildly, indicating that American mills will not be battered by the presidential jawbone?...
