Double Indemnity War Clause Ruled Invalid
Federal Judge Campbell ruled that a life policy double indemnity payment must be made to John P.

Brief Dispatches From A Busy Day At The Union
A string of quick quips and snippets moves through a Midwestern newsroom. James C. Gilligan checks the Union hotel elevator to see if it’s coming down, age 33. A reporter with a sharp ear for headlines, a city editor and a cheerful operator frame a day of small-town grind and punny exchanges.
