...James B. ("The Silver Fox") Bowler, 82, oldtime Chicago West Side ward boss, alderman (except for two brief intervals) from 1906 to 1953, and U.S. Congressman from 1953; in Chicago. Elder statesman of the city's Democratic machine, Bowler shared power all through the boodle days with "Hinky Dink" Kenna and his close friend "Bathhouse John" Coughlin, whose insurance business Bowler took over when Coughlin died (1938), once maintained his own rifle-equipped "army" to hold out against gangster attempts to invade and take over his ward...

Says Bachelor Bogart grimly, as he flounders into love: "It'll come back to me. It's like riding a bicycle...
