Warner LeRoy was raised in a world of in-house fantasy. He was five when his father, the redoubtable producer-director Mervyn LeRoy. dispatched Dorothy and Toto down that yellow brick road to see the Wizard.

Back home in sun-scorched Russell, Kans. (pop. 5,400), where the Senator maintains a small, red brick house, the news of Dole's selection caused a sensation. People gathered around the TV set in the Elks club and in the Ramada Inn to share in the excitement. To mark the occasion, Harold Elliott, Dole's high school basketball coach, took the clock off the living room wall and hung in its place an autographed picture of the Senator. Mrs. Carl Friesen, Dole's aunt, got out the family pictures and a folder of clippings...
