...Chicago Sun-Times will have regular staffers do the spadework, but is also sending Novelist Irving Wallace with a mandate that is typical for such high-priced talent. "He can write about anything he wants to," says Editorial Director Emmett Dedmon of the parent Field Enterprises, Inc., "and he probably will...
Died. General Emmett ("Rosie") O'Donnell Jr., 65, a commander of U.S. bomber forces in the Pacific during World War II and the Korean conflict; of a heart attack; in McLean, Va. A Brooklyn boy whose pink cheeks earned him the nickname Rosie, O'Donnell was a light, fleet West Point halfback before obtaining his commission in 1928.

After receiving his first general's star...
Practical Reality. Gabor's holograms were crude because his beam of filtered green light was not intense enough to produce a clear image. But in 1963, after the invention of the laser made available powerful single-frequency light waves that were precisely in phase.

Grumhaus, 68, the crusty, reticent...
...Governor Emmett Shannon is a mick manque who goes to Mass only when the press is present. His battle with a contracting czar over the grafting of parking facilities onto Boston's tiny, jewel-like Public Gardens is neither as funny nor as deadly as it should be. Still, Edward Sheehan is expert at mapping the social-climbing customs of the local clans. Irish civic life-with its blend of the sacred and profane, its flouting of the separation between church and state -is the author's real subject. The Emmett Shannons of the world still have their...
