"In 2007, at the unveiling of a portrait of Mr. Byrd in the Old Senate Chamber, former Senator Paul S. Sarbanes of Maryland, a colleague of 30 years, recalled that Mr. Byrd had taught him how to answer when a constituent asked, 'How many presidents have you served under?'
"'None,' was Mr. Byrd’s reply, Mr. Sarbanes said. 'I have served with presidents, not under them.'"
Adam Clymer in The New York Times writes an obit for Senator Robert Byrd.
