Raised in Raleigh, Royster went to prep school in Bell Buckle, Tenn., then to the University of North Carolina, where he reported for the Daily Tar Heel and made Phi Beta Kappa. "He was as busy as the bumblebee he resembled," a friend recalls. A few months after he joined the Journal, he went to Washington, where he covered the Treasury, Capitol Hill, the White House. As a sign of his new national outlook, he and his wife Frances did not name their two daughters for states; they are called Bonnie and Eleanor...
Instant Catnaps. Like the rest of Alcoa's recent top management, Harper has never worked for another company. Born in Louisville, Tenn., he found a $12-a-week summer job at the company's nearby plant in Alcoa, Tenn., while a high school student of 15, alternated three-month stints of work and study to graduate as an electrical engineer from the University of Tennessee. For the next 18 years, Harper moved slowly up through the ranks; then his strong performance as works manager of an aluminum smelter at Rockdale, Texas, propelled him to Alcoa's Pittsburgh...
MAJOR JOSEPH BRADLEY, 35, of Nashville, Tenn., married, father of two daughters and a son, an Army veteran of 17 years, heads a five-man American team at the district capital of Tuyphuoc in northern Binh Dinh province.

Like college kids, they gave the club all the trappings of a fraternity-mysterious rites, initiations, secret words. For a name, they hit on the Greek word for circle, kyklos, gave it a few twists and came up with Ku Klux Klan. For kicks, they made robes and hoods out of bedsheets and pillowcases, and took to riding sheet-draped horses solemnly through the town...
...less gory and more educational waxworks might well be popular with tourists in the nation's capital. He was so right: in addition to the new museum, Dennis' Historic Figures Inc. has set up five smaller wax museums at Gettysburg, Harpers Ferry, Niagara Falls, Denver, and Gatlinburg, Tenn. In July a sixth will open near Manhattan's Rockefeller Center, for which a replica of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper is being constructed as part of a series of "great scenes from world history...
