Last week "Brother Charley" called newshawks around his big walnut four- poster. To demonstrate his improvement, he stepped out and stood up in his muslin nightshirt, a pale, bald, old man doggedly fighting for a physical and political comeback. Then he announced Nebraska's new Senator - white-haired William Henry Thompson, a good party friend whom he had put on the State Supreme Court. Born in a Ohio log cabin 79 years ago, son of a blacksmith, Senator Thompson had served on the commission that built Nebraska's new $10,000,000 Capitol...

Chairman Jones has been...
...candidate for New York State's convention on repeal of the 8th Amendment was bald, square-cut Vivian Burnett, original of Little Lord Fauntleroy, written by his mother, Frances Hodgson Burnett, in 1886. Now a free lance writer, he told newshawks: "I was a perfectly normal boy-I got myself just as damn dirty as the other boys. I could write a book about what Fauntleroy has been to me. I try to get away from...
