- DIED. James Roosevelt, 83, eldest son of Franklin D.
- Roosevelt, who inherited his father's ringing voice but neither
- his political savvy nor his luck; in Newport Beach, Calif. After
- serving as his father's White House secretary, Roosevelt fought
- in the Pacific as a Marine officer during World War II. He ran
- for Governor of California in 1950, losing to Earl Warren.
- Roosevelt was later elected to six terms in the House of
- Representatives. In the 1980s, critics accused Roosevelt's
- lobbying group, the National Committee to Preserve Social
- Security and Medicare, of using scare tactics.
