...grabbed headlines in 1953 by chasing Aly Khan around the world to win a $1,000,000 divorce settlement for his client Rita Hayworth.

Though he had once served as counsel to the Hearst publications, he published New York City's far left PM (renamed the New York Star) for a year (1948) until it folded. As a Republican, he managed Wendell Willkie's 1940 campaign in the West, but since then supported every Democratic presidential nominee...
