In Today's Washington Post.

Robert C. Byrd was known for many things -- his mastery of Senate
rules, his oratorical skills, his ability to quote long passages of
poetry from memory. At one time, he was apparently also considered
quite the looker. "If you ever decide you've had enough of the Senate
(which would be the country's loss) you can always model men's wear
for Brooks Brothers," one female admirer wrote Byrd in April 1978.
"What a super model you'd make."  Byrd's correspondent was none other
than Abigail "Dear Abby" Van Buren, who wrote to Byrd, then 61, to
compliment his "perfectly stunning" photograph in Time magazine.

The Dear Abby mash note is one of thousands of letters, photographs
and other memorabilia that fill drawers and closets and filing
cabinets in Byrd's cluttered office in the Hart Senate Office Building
and his offices on the first and second floor of the Capitol. In the
coming days, his staff will embark on the huge task of sorting through
it all to archive what is one of the largest collections in
congressional history.
