Just last week, Senator Kennedy was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his book, "Profiles in Courage, which is an account of the pres sures endured by senators who spoke out for what they believed to be the national interest in op position to the heated feelings of their constituents. Prior to the war and before his entrance into Congress, Senator Kennedy was a writer and news paperman. He represented the Chicago Herald-American at the San Francisco Conference, and in 1945 he covered the British elec tions, and the Potsdam Conference for International News Service. In November, 1946, Kennedy was first elected to Congress. In 1952, he defeated the incumbent U S.

In spite of a most varied and interesting career, Rathbone is probably best known for unique portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, priv ate detective. Rathbone can never understand everyone's interest in Sherlock. Everywhere he goes, he said people ask him questions about this character.
