from Politico:
Dole was a DC, fixture wary of the trappings of Beltway life. Valued by both sides of the political spectrum, Dole’s congressional doggedness once inspired fellow D.C. pillar and frequent Senate sparring partner, Robert Byrd, to break protocol on the Senate floor in 1986 and address Dole directly.
“I have learned a lot from you,” Byrd said. “It is that tenacity and courage and stick-to-itiveness, and yet that good humor and joviality, that help to brighten our day. It is a pleasure to serve with you.”
