...Mercedes and partying with Jordan. Says he: "I work hard and I play hard." Unmarried, Caddell has recently shed 60 lbs. and grown a gray-flecked beard. He has not, however, lost his sense of where he fits into the Administration's power structure. Says he: "I'm less influential than I'd like to think I am, and a lot more than I deserve...
...where he was raised in the rear of his parents' grocery store. Once again, he has been doing a little door-to-door campaigning. This time it is for his daughter Mary, at 23 the oldest of his nine children (all of their names begin with the letter M; his own name was Maurice before he changed it to Moon).

He has spoken out against high energy...

She is a scrappy reformer who is out to rechannel the Democratic machine's energies into delivering services for Chicago's neglected neighborhoods, especially...
...Alan M. Dershowitz, 40. The student editors of the Harvard Law School Bulletin seldom lavish praise on the faculty, but for Dershowitz they made an exception. As the Bulletin put it, "He energetically attacks discrimination, represents criminals and defends the rights of others to defend themselves." The onetime boy wonder from Brooklyn (he was a full professor at Harvard at 28) admits to being "an extremist" on civil liberties. His credo: "If there is discrimination against anybody, there is discrimination against everybody." He has fought for the rights of American Nazis to speak and assemble, and successfully defended Actor Harry...
