Upheld Obscenity. Two conservative Republican Senators, Paul Fannin of Arizona and Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, launched their own attacks last week on the liberal maverick who has sat on the high bench for 30 of his 70 years. Fannin noted solemnly that Douglas had written an article on folk singing for Avant Garde magazine after the Supreme Court upheld an obscenity conviction against its publisher, Ralph Ginzburg. Douglas, who collected only $350 for the piece, was one of four dissenters to the decision. Declared Thurmond: "Justice Douglas is the next one who must...
...dying Saturday Evening Post last year, Oberdorfer, 37, writes a perceptive and critical weekly column. He also covers breaking news.

Senator Strom Thurmond showed up in a rusty red dinner jacket that about matched his hair. Senator Jacob Javits sported what he jokingly referred to as his "basic black by Bill Blass...
Envy as well as enmity is aimed at Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, 70, veteran of two other alliances with pretty young things, and now married to 26-year-old Cathleen Heffernan. The recent marriage of South Carolina's Senator Strom Thurmond, 66, and Nancy Janice Moore, 22, a former Miss South Carolina, suggests that even hard-shell Baptists may join a trend that once seemed confined to jet-setters. The Thurmonds typify a tendency of many May-December couples: they strive to be more normal than normal. "I love her and I'm very happy," says...
