whose name I recognized. I was born in 1945. Through the years since I learned his name, I have never seen it, except as a representation of what a U.S. Senator should be. He has been a stable, rational feature of the Senate for as long as I have been interested in politics. For me, he is a true American hero. He will be missed.
