Next, in April 1950, came Frank White Jr. (no kin to Bill), who used the same office, same yellow jeepster, same office staff, same apartment, and same maid. Finally, at the beginning of this year, Art White (no kin to either) moved into the same background, inherited the same perquisites of office and began hearing the same jokes about men named White that had beleaguered Frank...
