DIED. Homer Capehart, 82, three-term Republican Senator from Indiana (1945-63); from complications following a hip fracture; in Indianapolis. The son of a tenant farmer, Capehart made a fortune selling jukebox equipment and got into politics after organizing a 1938 "cornfield convention" of 20,000 Republicans.

One prominent Harvard tenant, the Thomas More Bookshop, recently lost its Holyoke St. store because Harvard rented out the space to a pizzeria. The shop, one of the only ones devoted to scholarly religious works, will move to a spot Harvard provided in Holyoke Center--one its owner says she cannot afford...
...tenants have also learned much from the experience. One tenant said he now saw how the legal process favors the landlord, requiring tenants to miss days of work in order to organize and file litigation...
