...Like its sister states in the Deep South, Alabama sends only Democrats to the U.S. Congress-and keeps them there for a long while. The state's nine Representatives average 15 years on Capitol Hill, and their seniority gives them considerable power and influence. But as of last week that seniority seemed threatened by the Alabama state legislature, after a session wild enough to be worthy of a Congolese nominating convention...

Says Warren: "Our lives have been absolutely separate, but there's not a big hostile thing." Independently, he lives his own young-Hollywood life with his own little mouse pack. His long romance with English Actress Joan Collins entered the requiem phase last week with her announcement that their engagement is broken. Meanwhile, squaring out a complicated parallelogram, Actress Collins is dating Actor Robert Wagner, and Wagner's estranged wife, Actress Natalie...
