DIED. John Franklin Wharton, 83, lawyer, author (Life Among the Playwrights) and inventive behind-the-scenes presence on Broadway; of emphysema; in Manhattan.

His mother comes from a prominent Boston lawyer's family; his father still revels in his college football glories; together they run a tennis club and a summer camp. One brother is a tennis pro and the other races motorcycles. Then, all of a sudden, Joslin's lover appears on the screen, describing how a friend who later jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge married him and Tom. Who would have guessed that a homosexual...
