Foreword: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's
Eulogy for Frank Lautenberg
Acknowledgments
Introduction: Frank and Me
How we met, how we courted, how we married.
A Capitalist to the Capitol
Frank's rags-to-riches story backdrops an improbable entry into politics and a second-term Senatevictory that at first appeared hopeless.
The Formative Years
From Paterson to the frontlines of World War to the helm of a Fortune 500 company.
Alcohol
Prevailing against entrenched corporate powers, Frank becomes one of the greatest lifesavers in Senate history.
Tobacco
Again facing powerful special interests and another lion of the Senate, Frank pioneers a norm that today would create zero controversy.
Firearms
One of the few successful champions of gun safety laws during the past generation, Frank wins restrictions on perpetrators of domestic violence.
The Humanitarian
The senator helps refuseniks to escape the USSR, South African womento dig a trench, and a father to reunite with his abducted son.
"Chickenhawks!"
Frank returns from a premature retirement in such a fullthroated cry against the Iraq War that his colleagues are sure he won't run for reelection. Wrong.
An Honorary Woman
Overcoming preconceptions as few of his generation did, Frank becomes one of the Senate's champions of rights for both women and the LGBTQ community.
Toxic Politics
Frank's greatest passion, next to transportation and infrastructure, was toxins generally and carcinogens specifically. After forging consensus on a toxic right-to-know bill, he would end up legislating from the great beyond.
Sick Transit
The legacy of Frank's passion for infrastructure lives on.
Afterword: Vice President Joe Biden's Eulogy for Frank Lautenberg
