A normal day in a Senator's life consists of being whisked, in a warm car in winter and a cool one in summer, from one self-aggrandizing event to the next.

Not long after that, it came out that Senate majority leader Trent Lott had also been cozy with the C.C.C. When confronted, both Barr and Lott denied that they were aware of the group's racist agenda, though the organization's officers have never made any secret of their views--and Lott's uncle Arnie Watson is a member of its executive board...
