...Pope Paul, updated). Number 2,496, sent to all member newspapers in 1936, did not prove useful until Nov. 1, 1947, when Man O' War died at the mature age of 30. Every six months, A.P. newspapers get a mimeographed list of additions and deletions; the notice circulated Jan. 1 of this year added Composer Benjamin Britten, Leonid Brezhnev, U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy and Author John O'Hara, among others, plus a few revisions (Lyndon Johnson, Richard Cardinal Gushing, Frank Costello...
