Allen's death opens race for Alabama's vacant Senate seats
U.S. Senator James B. Allen died at 65 after a heart event at a Gulf Shores condo. The death creates two open Senate seats this century, with Join Sparkman not seeking reelection and Gov. George Wallace delaying plans as he weighs temporary appointments. Flags at half staff and leaders call the loss a deep personal one. Allen previously served as lieutenant governor under Wallace.
