...hopes to become "an old-fashioned man of letters whose obituary lists 20 or so novels to his credit." Unpretentious about his writing so far ("a small, humble and private thing"), Wilson would like most "to describe my own Marquand-type society with Hemingway's power." With his blond, blue-eyed, Ivy League good looks, Wilson leads a quiet life in not quite Marquand-type country (Pound Ridge. N.Y.), has only one major crotchet: he does not own a gray flannel suit ("I won't have one in the house"), although clothiers have offered to outfit him with...
...project was entrusted to Riccardo Gizdulich, a blond, cigar-smoking architect who has built some of Italy's most radically modern structures. He studied photographs, the designs left by Ammannati, notes left by the head mason. Under his direction, the Arno was dammed, and the river bottom was searched for fragments left after the explosion.

"Don't bother to look at me," he assures fans on his 45-minute daily early-morning show. "I'll tell you if something is on-camera...
...after a two-year rise from copyboy to overnight editor of Chicago's hardboiled, fast-moving City News Bureau,* brash, blond Bruce Sagan (rhymes with pagan) paid $2,500 for a withered weekly called the Hyde Park Herald. Breathing life into the body and new fire into the Southside community. Publisher Sagant mounted a hard-hitting campaign for slum clearance, coupled picture spreads of slum dwellings (including owners' names) with authoritative how-to-do-it articles on redevelopment. Outcome: Hyde Park qualified for federal aid as the Midwest's first and biggest project of this type approved...
...began a furious training regimen, got up at 5 a.m. every weekday, bicycled two miles from her home in Bankstown to a pool to swim up to 3½ miles. After school she swam another two miles. So much time in the pool's chlorinated water gave her blond hair a mermaidish green tint...
