The grave of Lawrence Stern, one of England's most famous authors, does not contain his bones. The corpse was stolen by robbers two days after he was buried. When the headlines blare about the smooth and shrewd doings of political leaders, it's interesting to remember one William Fitzharding, who lived in 19th century England. Fitzharding was a real vote-getter. Handsome, sure of himself, a natural for the game of politics. In fact, Fitzharding was so good, his efforts were rewarded by an earldom. Who made him an earl? His four brothers, whom he got elected to Parliament all in the same year. Believe It or Not!
