He also was very active in passing the Martin Luther King Holiday. They quoted him on the radio as saying "you have to change with the times" concerning race relations. I personally found that to be quite remarkable coming from someone of his age. Most people don't change their views much when they were that old.
Of course, there is another thing to look up to him for. He married a 20-something year old woman and fathered a child when he was like 76 or so! Got to admire a man that "active" [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I understand that the last couple of years before he retired from the senate, he lived at the Naval Hospital in D.C. and was a favorite with the nurses there. Now that's the way to be when you are 100!!!
