...Alphonso Taft. Charlie Taft filed as a last-minute fill-in candidate when O'Neill suffered a winter heart attack (TIME, Feb. 10). But when the governor recovered and asked him to withdraw, Taft refused. Instead, he promised to do no campaigning beyond the confines of his own Hamilton County and thereby touched off one of the state's odder political campaigns...

He also spent a year at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. Though Fry's religious activities at college "consisted of playing pool at the Y.M.C.A." (he explains: "Hamilton's undifferentiated Protestantism didn't appeal to me"), there was never any doubt where Franklin Clark Fry was headed. It was Lutheran Theological Seminary at Mount Airy, Philadelphia, where his grandfather Jacob had been professor of homiletics. Here...
