...York City's Howard Leary, 56, has the biggest job of any cop, with the widest range of problems and perhaps the most maddening bureaucracy. He points out that his city has almost ten times as many violent crimes as London (63,412 v. 7,302 last year), despite the British capital's edge in population. The big city has the unique distinction of harboring five of the 24 Cosa Nostra families and most of the nation's narcotics addicts. Almost alone, however, it has escaped major riots since...
...called in for specific situations?Sorensen's brother Philip, former lieutenant governor of Nebraska, was summoned from his present job in Indiana to work his old home state. Jerry Bruno, who had run Kennedy's office in Syracuse, N.Y., supervises the candidate's advance work, attempting to get the widest possible exposure with as much drama as possible. Kennedy and entourage roll up to a small-town school. No one is in sight. Will he be photographed being greeted by no one? Hardly. At the proper moment, kids stream on cue from every door, engulfing the candidate, filling the lenses...
King had the widest following of any black leader, but even he could claim nothing like universal loyalty.

First Violinist Charles Libove 38, a tiny (5-ft. 3-in.) dervish of energy and enthusiasm, has the widest background as a soloist, acts as spokesman and arbitrator of musical disagreements Violinist Bernard Eichen, 36, the newest member of the group with only one year's tenure, is a nonstop quipster who gave his first recital at age nine and joined Toscanini's NBC Symphony at 19. Violist John...
Secret Success. Widest-ranging among the Chicago collectors is Morton Neumann, 69, owner of a small mail-order cosmetics house, and none of the collectors mystifies his rivals more. Not that they fault his taste. The living room of Neumann's town house is festooned with Picassos, the dining room with Miros, and the former state dining room with a history of postwar U.S. art. The mystery is how Neumann goes about making his selections. Even among art dealers, he is known for the hard bargains he drives rather than for esthetic likes or dislikes. Despite Neumann...
