#1 His typical expenses for a Senate run were the filing fee. He felt nobody owned him that way except his voters.

The Golden Fleece Award was his baby.

#2 Was the Golden Fleece ever awarded to dairy price supports? Or the special rules giving AMC preference in government procurment?

My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

I cheered when he left the Senate (though his successor is nothing cheer about).

#4 Larry Niven wrote an interesting story about William Proxmire called "The Return of William Proxmire." In the story, he tried to kill the space program by curing Robert Anson Heinlein of TB. He managed to do it, but not only did it not kill the space program, it made it better. It really was a nice little short story.
