Died. Bourke Hickenlooper, 75, conservative Republican Senator from Iowa for nearly a quarter-century; of a heart attack; on Shelter Island, N.Y. A onetime Cedar Rapids lawyer, "Hick" Hickenlooper followed a traditional path through the Governor's Mansion before winning a Senate seat in 1944.

Finch and his crew are continually threatened by starvation and frostbite, but sheer boredom somehow seems a more likely fate...

They could not lie down because the water came up to their knees in places. There was not enough shelter, and in the morning there were always many sick and dying of pneumonia. We could not get our serious cholera cases to the hospital. And there was no one to take away the dead. They just lay around on the ground or in the water." High-pressure syringes have speeded...
