Musician, band hooker, cattle breeder, antique collector, real estate investor, holder of a seat on the New York Stock Exchange-Jules Caesar Stein, 70, has made money in all those roles. To say nothing of founding the Music Corp. of America and parlaying it into a $300 million music-movie-TV empire. Not surprisingly, he never found much time to work at the profession he trained for: ophthalmology. But last week Dr. Stein made amends...
...took on the look of a minor trial of strength between the forces of Lyndon Johnson and Bobby Kennedy. Former Governor Buford Ellington, 59, a friend of the President's who resigned in January as director of the Office of Emergency Planning, faced wealthy Nashville Lawyer John Jay Hooker Jr., 35, whose style is Kennedy with a drawl, a manner he acquired from Bobby and the late President.

With Strozier's help on lineouts and hooker John Rice's fine play in the scrum, the offense controlled the ball most of the game. Cornell drew first blood, however, on a scissors play, a maneuver where the scrum half and fly half make a pincers-like movement on an outside defenseman...
...Hooker's opponent for the Democratic nomination is Buford Ellington, 58, who resigned in January as President Johnson's Office of Emergency Planning chief. During an earlier term as Governor, Ellington backed Johnson for President at the 1960 Democratic Convention, and the two have often exchanged visits and swapped breeding bulls. In his political views, however, Hooker is closer to Johnson, supports medicare, a Tennessee state minimum wage law and repeal of 14(b)-none of which especially appeal to Ellington. Hooker last week accepted the Tennessee co-chairmanship of the National Lawyers Committee for the President...
