Death of Senator Gorman Ends Noted Democratic Leader
The death of Arthur Pue Gorman closes a long public career marked by rapid rise from senate pages to U S senator and party leader.

His passing brings mixed judgments on a figure whose career blended reformist aims with boss-like methods. Some remarks touch on beef industry practices as a final, odd aside.
