Jimmy Connors? Brian Gottfried? Bjorn Borg? They should live so long. The tireless champ is Clarence Chaffee, 75, who dominates U.S. grass and clay courts in the 75-and-over division, and was winning matches when the parents of today's stars were in diapers. Chaffee, the retired tennis, squash and soccer coach at Williams College (Mass.), is one of the most remarkable of the 1,200 or so Super-Seniors-players who are at least 55 years old and still compete in tournament tennis. In the five years since the Super-Senior organization was founded, divisions have been...
Like Kissinger, Vance has no problem making decisions, but he does not like to be flooded with them. "He is very methodical and prefers focusing on one issue at a time," says a State Department Soviet specialist. He works hard, putting in long hours, but is not as tireless as Kissinger was.

She is tireless, nervous and excitable; at one point in her interviews she became so wound up that she had to take sleeping pills before going to bed, then she overdosed herself and collapsed on the floor. At another point, she suddenly rose and started playing billiards with two aides, squealing with delight when she did well. Such exercise, she explained, was necessary to keep her legs from swelling...
...felt America became heretical--when American joined a world federation. The narrator wanders in the halls of this ultimate bureaucracy looking for a mission of his own. There is no mention of where he was before the account starts. The only personality the reader gleans is the narrator's tireless urge to search. He is no one in particular, looking to be somebody--anybody. His search is timeless. The setting and the sense of ceaseless frustration speak to the citizens of a corporate...
