Died Harry Kurnitz, 60, one of Hollywood's most durable and successful screen writers; of a heart attack; in Los Angeles. Bon vivant, ladies' man, globetrotter, Kurnitz was never one to bite the hand that paid him. "I write like Pavlov's dog," he said. "I just start typing automatically in the morning. And in 30 years, he cranked out more than 40 scripts, some bad but quite a few good, among them 1944's See Here, Private Hargrove, 1957's Witness for the Prosecution and 1966's How to Steal a Million.

His 50-year-old tidbits still sound fresh and impudent, and are enjoying something of a vogue, due partly to their crisp presentation by Aldo Ciccolini...
...Mississippi-born sharecropper, Fred Harris is a liberal by osmosis. "He had to work like a dog for everything he has," recalls Earl Sneed, his former law school dean. "Consequently, he would be very sympathetic to those who are disadvantaged." A Phi Beta Kappa and No. 1 graduate of his University of Oklahoma law class, Harris has pretty well known where he wanted to go since, at age five, he led a horse around in circles to power a hay baler. He wanted to get an education and rise to the top. He married his Comanche Indian sweet heart, LaDonna...
