Byrd Turns 90

West Virginia's senior U.S. Senator, and history's longest-serving member of that body, celebrated his 90th birthday on Tuesday.

Friends, supporters and staffers threw a surprise party for Sen. Robert C. Byrd last week in Washington, D.C.

MetroNews has perhaps the biggest spread marking Byrd's milestone, with a lengthy article, sidebars featuring well-wishers and Byrd's marks on history, and a photo gallery.

Others with coverage: the Charleston Daily Mail (w/photo gallery), The Charleston Gazette, The Register-Herald of Beckley, and WSAZ-TV.
