Columbia's Allan Nevins, 68, De Witt Clinton Professor of American History and winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for his biographies of President Grover Cleveland and U.S. Secretary of State Hamilton Fish. A stumpy, explosively energetic man who impatiently brushes away his age and anything else that interferes with his 6:30 a.m.-to-11:15 p.m. workday, he has written some 25 volumes, edited a dozen others.
