...Harvard-Washington axis, as it became known, flourished during the Kennedy and Johnson years. No matter where you looked, there was a Harvard personality in a top government job: Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. '38, former professor of History at Harvard, was special assistant to the President; Edwin O.

As Charles, Edwin Owens speaks far better than we would expect of a professional wrestler...
...they would show him "a little fun" at their place. Former Judge (and failed Nixon Supreme Court nominee) G. Harrold Carswell has been indicted on charges of making advances to a vice-squad policeman in Tallahassee, Fla. Dallas police have accused ex-Army Major General (and right-wing activist) Edwin Walker of public lewdness after he allegedly "fondled" an undercover policeman in a rest room...
