PART 1 OF 7: AUGUST 8, 1994
When Ted Stevens rose earlier this year to oppose a balanced-budget amendment on the floor of the U.S. Senate, he was also standing against the main political currents of his party and his state.

So did virtually all other Republicans in Washington.

He recruited Stevens out of Harvard Law School in 1950.
PART 5 OF 7: AUGUST 11, 1994
Ted Stevens says he had no clue he would become Alaska's next U.S. senator when E.L. "Bob" Bartlett died in 1968. In fact, Stevens may have been the politician least likely to replace the popular Democratic incumbent. After completing a four-year stint with the Eisenhower administration, where he rose to be top lawyer at the Interior Department, Stevens had packed up his wife, Ann, and their five small children and headed for Anchorage in 1961.
