...Oley" Sharp (the nickname came from his towheaded, Swede-like looks) was raised in Fort Benton, Mont., a tiny (pop. 1,887) landlocked town that has produced no fewer than four admirals.* His father was the nephew of President U. S. Grant, the Civil War giant, but Sharp was not the military type: he ran a general store. Young Oley, bored with the prospect of a merchant's life, wanted-and won-an appointment to the Naval Academy. He boxed, ran the 880 on an intramural track team, but produced a so-so scholastic record and in 1927 graduated...

Each day begins at 5:30 in the morning, ends around 9 at night. And it has been that way since last July for James Roosevelt Jr., 18. That's when he entered the Mont La Salle Novitiate of the Brothers of the Christian Schools near Napa, Calif. The newly named Brother Matthew David got parental permission from both his divorced Episcopal father, James Sr., and Catholic mother before accepting his religious vocation. At 25, the grandson of F.D.R. hopes to leave the layman's life for good, take final vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, stability, and teaching...
...Hell's Kitchen 61 years ago this week to a father who had emigrated from County Kilkenny and a mother who hailed from Limerick. His mother died when he was seven, and he was packed off with two younger sisters to live with relatives in Great Falls, Mont. When the U.S. entered World War I, he quit the eighth grade and ran away from home, got into the Navy just before he was 15 by lying about his age. He served on convoy duty in the Atlantic for ten months, later served in both the Army and the Marines...
Automobile carburetors have little in common with the visionary paintings of Paul Klee, but Arnold Maremont is a devoted connoisseur of both. Mare mont, 59, is president of Chicago's Maremont Corp., a leader in the greasy, $7 billion business of making spare parts for old cars. Yet he runs his firm from a low ebony coffee-table desk, surrounded by modern paintings and chairs by Mies van der Rohe, is as elegant and impeccably dressed as if he were managing Tiffany's. All this seems to help: he has built Maremont's sales from $30 million...
