Paddy's opponent, Francis D. Fisher, 32, of 1550 Wieland, is a tall (6-foot-3) scion of a family long prominent in public service....

Fisher appeared overly modest about the fact that he went to Harvard--both as an undergraduate and to get his law degree. He did not volunteer the information, even in a statement of his background.

"That was right after the war and you had to go where you could get in," he said. --From the Chicago Daily News, Jan. 8, 1959
