...come to Broadway, out of Washington. D.C., and the University of North Carolina, to play a bad guy holding a nice family hostage in the 1955 thriller The Desperate Hours. (One of his fellow thugs was the young Paul Newman, who told the Times this week, "When we were on the stage together, he was the best thing around.") He lightened up in his next play, The Happiest Millionaire, then played opposite the luminous Rosemary Harris in The Disenchanted. (Grizzard and Harris would team again in the '0s, for a revival of The Royal Family...

Last April, after state Republican party leadership endorsed Jindal and when it became clear that Breaux was out of the race, Boasso switched his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, and he has spent the ensuing weeks burnishing his regular-guy image. Public service commissioner and former state senator Foster Campbell is the more traditional Louisiana Democrat, proud to wear the populist label. But he's little known outside his North Louisiana stronghold, where Jindal's appeals to Christian conservatives have cut into Campbell's natural base. Rounding out the field...
