Restraint comes hard for Jesse Helms. "I'm so used to throwing grenades," he told some of his Senate staffers one day, "that I don't know how to hang on to them." It was a revealing comment. for Jesse Helms surely will not hold back. He has built his career on drawing the line, charging forward, preaching the ruthless application of conservative dogma. That is how he got to be the head of Jesse's army. And that is how he finally got invited to the dance.
