RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Former Sen. Jesse Helms, who served 30years in Congress, died on the Fourth of July, the Jesse Helms
research center says. He was 86.
The center, based at Wingate University in North Carolina, said
Friday that he died at 1:15 a.m.
Jimmy Broughton, Helms' former chief of staff, says the former
senator died of natural causes in Raleigh.
Helms built a career along the fault lines of racial politics
and battled liberals, Communists and the occasional fellow
Republican during his decades in Congress. He was slowed in later
age by a variety of illnesses, including a bone disorder, prostate
cancer and heart problems.
