Alter Ego. A Yale-educated West Virginian, Vance, 50, arrived on the Washington scene in 1957 to help draft the Space Act, then was chosen as special counsel to the Senate Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee, chaired by L.B.J. After the Democratic accession in 1961, Vance became general counsel to McNamara, moved up to Secretary of the Army a year later. During his 18 months in that post, and later as Deputy Secretary, he supervised the revitalization of the Army and other "cost-effective" reforms as McNamara's discreet alter ego. Vance's health is a limitation in the grinding...
...project supported jointly by Government and private funds in Brooklyn's crime-ridden, abjectly poor Bedford-Stuyvesant section. His replacement at the Civil Rights Division will be Stephen J. Pollak, 39, a Dartmouth-and Yale-educated Chicagoan who has served as an assistant to the Solicitor General, legal counsel to the President's task force on the war against poverty and, for two years, as Dear's assistant...
Finger of Suspicion. Criswell was in for another surprise. Because he had not suspected Bruce, he had not warned him of his rights to silence and counsel under the U.S. Supreme Court's Miranda decision.

Mention of "the words lie detector" indicated "that...
...Rachal, 55, is president, chief executive, general counsel and personnel director of the largest employer in Kerrville, Texas (pop. 11,300). Though he is also controlling stockholder, he draws no salary, receives no dividends, pockets no expense money. Instead, he plows every cent of profit, which he prefers to call "operating surplus," back into his business-aviation. In the space of 13 years, Rachal's little known Mooney Aircraft Inc. has gone from the brink of bankruptcy to become, after Cessna, Piper and Beech, the nation's fourth biggest private-aircraft maker...
Throw Away the Script. His career lasted over half a century; by 1803, at 71, he was too weak to compose, but lingered on six more years to counsel such later hotbloods as the young Beethoven and Weber. For most of his life he was court composer to Prince Nicholas Esterházy, who obliged him to wear livery and dine at the servants' table, but who gave him every encouragement to tinker with accepted musical conventions and, when necessary, to kick them over. Haydn's musical life, in fact, stands as a direct contradiction...
