On the recordJuly 16, 1998
there is just one final little anecdote that I would like to share with the Senate. When my former colleague, Senator Pryor, left the Senate last year, he went home to the University of Arkansas to teach. He is sort of a roving professor. He taught one day at the school of business, and the next day the school of agriculture, and so on. He was at the law school one day. He said that some smart law student got up and said, ``Why don't you deliver a lecture someday on the comparison of our democracy and the Athenian democracy?'' Senator Pryor said he didn't know what to do. So he went back to his office and he called the Senate historian and he told him what he was up against. The historian said, ``You are lucky. Senator Byrd has just delivered about 15 speeches on Athenian democracy.'' He sent those to him, and he said everybody in the university thinks he is an Athenian scholar.
