...Holcomb, Kans. "Capote's horror," Hanks says, "has stuck with me."

...Rangel and Paterson's father Basil were members of Harlem's Gang of Four, along with Percy Sutton - a civil rights activist, lawyer and local power broker, who died Dec. 26 at 89 - and David Dinkins, who served as mayor of New York City from 1990 to 1993. The group inherited a tradition passed down from trailblazers like Adam Clayton Powell Jr., whom Rangel unseated in 1970, and together shattered scores of racial barriers, attaining offices once dismissed as off-limits and paving the way for the ascension of black leaders around the country. In the process, they turned Harlem...
