...young man he suffered deep loss. His mother's wrenching early death from colon cancer shaped the rest of his life. He was 20 when she died in February 1943 at the age of 48. Three days later, a private in the Army, he boarded a train for Camp Campbell, Kentucky, and the war in Europe. The sense of shock and separation never left him. He survived World War II, as he had survived the Depression and the alienation of his youth, but the only world that had ever mattered to him - the secure home his parents had vouchsafed...

His forthright style earned him goodwill from the press and an intense following among independents and disaffected voters, who turned...

At 250 lbs. before island life slimmed him down--SurvivorSucks.com dubbed him "Machiabelly"--he had no problem strutting around camp in the buff. Hatch attributed his pluck partly to being openly gay in a straight man's world--in a sense, he was the most real, least stereotypical gay "character" on network TV. And he didn't check his cockiness on Pulau Tiga. Posing for TIME, he vowed, "This...
