Seale wore a beret and a scowl when he and Huey Newton formed the Black Panthers in Oakland in 1966. His disruptions aroused combative Judge Julius Hoffman to have him shackled to a chair and gagged during the Chicago Seven trial. Today he lives in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, attends Temple University and directs a youth training program. "I want to contribute to social change by being the last word behind a nonprofit organization," says Seale, 48. Where would the money come from? Believe it or not, from a cookbook, Barbecuing with Bobby, and possibly a barbecue video...

Edwards, 57, the son of a Cajun sharecropper, is heir to Long's populist legacy. He helped to streamline the Louisiana constitution and reorganize the state bureaucracy...
...critics, the Tribune is the Baby Huey of American newspapers-big, awkward, musclebound, stumbling over its own vast strength. Consistently profitable and increasingly dominant in the nation's third largest city, the paper employs 530 full-time editorial staffers, including 16 correspondents in Washington, eight in other U.S. cities outside Illinois, and four abroad.
