Baker, scion of an old, pro

family from Huntsville, Tenn., a
Republican enclave that resisted
secession during the Civil War,
came to Washington 21 years ago
as the first Republican ever
popularly elected to the Senate
from Tennessee. He earned a
reputation as a moderate and a
framer of compromises and won
a national following during his
service on the Senate Watergate
Committee, which investigated
the political ramifications of the
Watergate break in.
Fellow Republicans named
him Senate minority leader in
1977 and majority leader in 1981,
when the GOP gained control of
the Senate on Reagan’s 1980
coattails. He said his role was to
