Summary:
Since his election to the U.S. Senate in 2006, Ohio's Brown has sat on the Senate floor at a mahogany desk with a proud history. Here he tells the story of eight of the Senators who were there before him. The eight are: Hugo Black, Robert F. Kennedy, Glen Taylor, George McGovern, Herbert Lehman, Al Gore Sr., Theodore Francis Green, and William Proxmire. Despite their flaws and frequent setbacks, each made a decisive contribution to the creation of a more just America. -- adapted from jacket
