...Deal Social Security official, Neustadt inherited an allegiance to the Democratic Party and a proneness to Washington service. He got into the Government in 1942 as an OPA official, came back to Washington in 1946, after a Navy stint, to become an assistant to the Director of the Budget. "I'm a second-generation bureaucrat," he says without apology.

A lively lecturer and wit, he had more students than there were seats...
Bloch is a slender, quiet man who speaks haltingly, sometimes eloquently, with a trace of a German accent. He came to this country in 1936 after a two-year stint in a Swiss bacteriology lab, having fled his native Germany in 1934.

Bloch's interests are almost completely confined to his research. Unlike many Harvard scientists he serves on no government policy committees and did not participate in last month's presidential campaign...

Veteran of a peripatetic childhood (as the daughter of an army officer, she followed the campfires from Cairo to Germany to Surrey), a convent education ("I went through all the phases, from knitting to riding to weaving") and a short stint at art school, she put in an apprentice term selling dresses for Mary Quant, last year opened her own store in a Belgravia basement. Then Jordan's Princess Muna spotted her in one of her bright new coats in the lobby of the Dorchester Hotel, and Caroline found herself...
Brooke is relaxed and unruffled on a vote-getting stint, and he strolls into a cafeteria full of people as if he were about to sit down and do a day's office work right there in the middle of it all. He literally runs from one table to another and grabs every hand in sight...
