Scarcely had the Boston industrialist been ensconced in Danbury, Conn., federal prison to begin a year-and-a-day stretch for tax evasion, when three of its staff-a janitor, a machinist and a cook-were suspended for helping him keep up illicit correspondence with friends on the outside.

O'Brien Sr. was a scrappy redhead, and an up-and-coming real estate operator. By the time young Larry was born, his father owned a string of drab...
...receive the Czechoslovak National Council of America's Masaryk Award for "inspired leadership in the cause of freedom," Illinois' snow-topped Senator Paul H. Douglas, 69, conclusively proved that a lifelong devotion to the "dismal science" of economics need not make a man as stuffy as a Cook County ballot box.
