520    Since his election to the U.S. Senate in 2006, Ohio's 
       Sherrod Brown has sat on the Senate floor at a mahogany 
       desk with a proud history. In Desk 88, he tells the story 
       of eight of the Senators who were there before him. 
       Despite their flaws and frequent setbacks, each made a 
       decisive contribution to the creation of a more just 
       America. They range from Hugo Black, who helped to lift 
       millions of American workers out of poverty, to Robert F. 
       Kennedy, whose eyes were opened by an undernourished 
       Mississippi child and who then spent the rest of his life 
       afflicting the comfortable. Brown revives forgotten 
       figures such as Idaho's Glen Taylor, a singing cowboy who 
       taught himself economics and stood up to segregationists, 
       and offers new insights into George McGovern, who fought 
       to feed the poor around the world even amid personal and 
       political calamities. He also writes about Herbert Lehman 
       of New York, Al Gore Sr. of Tennessee, Theodore Francis 
       Green of Rhode Island, and William Proxmire of Wisconsin. 
       Together, these eight portraits in political courage tell 
       a story about the triumphs and failures of the Progressive
       idea over the past century: in the 1930s and 1960s, and 
       more intermittently since, politicians and the public have
       successfully fought against entrenched special interests 
       and advanced the cause of economic or racial fairness. 
       Today, these advances are in peril as employers shed their
       responsibilities to employees and communities, and a U.S. 
       president gives cover to bigotry. But the Progressive idea
       is not dead. Recalling his own career, Brown dramatizes 
       the hard work and high ideals required to renew the social
       contract and create a new era in which Americans of all 
       backgrounds can know the "Dignity of Work."
