Harry Byrd Sr. served one term as Virginia's Governor, five full terms as Senator, and for half a century ran the Old Dominion's Democratic Party as if it were a company town. Son Harry Jr., however, has had trouble controlling the legacy he received after his father's retirement in 1965 and death a year later.

Democrat Morgenthau is now a deputy mayor of New York -and still convinced that his probing into bank records of foreign accounts "was making the Administration extremely nervous." Before he was fired, Morgenthau had persuaded federal grand juries to indict 75 persons for financial crimes involving secret bank accounts, and had referred dozens of other cases to the Internal Revenue Service. The cases demonstrate a variety of ways in which U.S. businessmen put their Swiss connections...
