BRACK: Remembering who runs the U.S. Senate: The “Grandees”

BRACK: Remembering who runs the U.S. Senate: The “Grandees”

By Elliott Brack | The United States Senate is a marvelous and imposing palace of government, run by what one person calls the “grandees ,” almost mostly men who have been in power for years. 

We lost another gentle Southerner, a “grandee” himself, the other day, as Ernest “Fritz” Hollings of South Carolina passed away at age 97. A former governor who had the level-headed insistence that South Carolina integrate its colleges without incident, he went on to serve 38 years in the Senate.
