...when Larry was a part-time helper in Springfield's Democratic headquarters and his father was a state committeeman from western Massachusetts, the O'Briens defied their Irish Catholic neighbors and supported Franklin Roosevelt for the Democratic nomination, instead of Al Smith, who was the local favorite.

Black Sunday (Galatea-Jolly; Al), for instance, is a piece of fine Italian handiwork that atones for its ludicrous lapses with brilliant intuitions of the spectral.

"I occasionally get birthday cards from fans," says the National League's Al Forman. "But it's often the same message: they hope it's my last...
