A TIME opinionist's harsh take on Byrd:

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,2001187,00.html
not very well written.  I guess the crux of the article is to assume his changes of positions on issues were purely careerist in nature.  I'm no Byrd expert, but I think that seems a bit unfair.
