...Tireless and imaginative. Stein has won the backing of the American Legion (he is a World War I veteran) and of such stage friends as Tallulah Bankhead, a longtime subscriber and general booster. Thanks largely to Stein and the Star, patients at Carville have established their right to vote (a technicality of state law once disfranchised them); their precinct is usually the first in the state to report. They have won the right to have visitors, a month's leave a year when their disease is quiescent. Stein will not rest until state and federal laws recognize that, except...
...favorable omen for the talks. This week, Stokes, who glories in the role of a hardhitting, U.S.-type businessman, will sit down at the conference table with the Iranians. Hovering in the background, ready with soothing words and compromise suggestions, is the one hero of the crisis: tireless W. Averell Harriman. His performance so far: excellent...
Breakfast in Bed. From his earliest years, living near a record shop that blared Italian opera into the street all day, Freddy was an opera fan and a tireless listener to his father's own large collection of records. At seven, he once played a Caruso record 27 times at a single sitting.

Young (22) Herb Flam, the U.S.'s second-ranking player and a tireless retriever, beat the Japanese champion, Jiro Kumamaru, at his own game, the base-line duel. Flam, too, had a tough time in the first set, but won it 7-5. Playing more aggressively against his 29-year-old rival, Flam whipped through the second at love, won the third, mainly...
Visiting: Kansas-born Dr. John A. (for Adams) Kingsbury, 74, onetime Manhattan social worker and tireless fellow traveler, who arrived in Russia last week for his second call in eight months. (On his first he headed a gaggle of U.S. pinko "peace partisans.") As chairman of the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship, ticketed as subversive by the Attorney General, Dr. Kingsbury was huzzaed at Moscow's Leningrad Station by bureaucrats of the Soviet Committee for the Defense of Peace and the Anti-Fascist Committee of Soviet Women. Purpose of his visit, explained Dr. Kingsbury: to study the Soviet...
