WHAT? NO '99 BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL'?

At Cornell University in upstate New York, Coors was a member of Psi Upsilon fraternity. One of their frat songs was:

Kick off the sheets;
rise from the bed,
What tho' our eyes be weary and red,
For we drank our share of potions rare,
And we're feeling pain just ev'rywhere!

DISAGREE WITH A SMILE

"He can disagree with you, but he won't be disagreeable, which is what you need as a senator. Ben Nighthorse Campbell is that way, too."

- U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., former Phillips Exeter classmate of Coors

IT'S WHAT'S FOR DINNER

Coors owns a longhorn steer, Adolph. The longhorn is named for his great- grandfather, brewery founder Adolph Coors.

EMILY POST LIVES ON

Coors still remembers the time when he was 16 and was entertaining guests when his mother, Holly, came in. He remained seated.

"Mom said, 'You get off your butt when I come into the room.' "

Not only does Coors unfailingly stand now, but he also routinely holds the door for his entire campaign entourage.
