@dba -- Betweenness is calculated by counting how often a node (in this case a congressperson) lies on the shortest path between two other nodes. On a purely practical level, we use tools called NetDraw and UCInet (available from Analytic Technologies) to do a lot of the heavy lifting. For more on "Betweenness", see this article on Wikipedia. Or there's a really good PDF download from a talk by Steve Borgatti, one of the people whose work has really affected what we're doing. Hope this helps!
