Informed that he had won the $50,000 Enrico Fermi Award "for his leadership in thermonuclear research," Dr. Edward Teller, 54, who dislikes being called the father of the hydrogen bomb, had just one request. "I would appreciate it," he said, "since this for me is a nice occasion, that you refrain from calling me the father of anything...

...from Charlestown, is officially listed as a White House staff assistant-but that is only half the story. In the informal, easygoing atmosphere of the Kennedy Administration, the elfish, ebullient Powers, 49, plays a unique role as John Kennedy's constant companion, morale builder, tension lifter and joke teller. One reason for his value is that even amid the glitter of the nation's capital, he still remains a son of Charlestown. Says Dave casually: "It's the best White House I've ever worked...
