"The history of the United States Senate is full of dramatic moments, famous senators, and nation-changing events, but it is also peppered with colorful characters and humorous incidents that have become part of the lore of an institution now more than 230 years old. This volume presents a collection of 150 scenes from Senate history. Varied in length and wide-ranging in topic, each scene represents a part of a much larger story"-- Provided by publisher.
