...student with the 410 verbal score currently attends an inner-city high school in a tough neighborhood. He has no father and has helped raise two younger brothers. He is president of his student body and has a straight A record. "The only thing this kid has not done is score high," Calvin N. Mosely, associate director of admissions, points...
...soon appointed to high city offices some 40 zealous followers, about half of whom are younger than he is. They share his distrust and disdain for bureaucrats, but some of them are inexperienced. Director of Finance Joseph Tegreene, for example, is a 24-year-old political science graduate of Kenyon College who worked as a stockbroker for eight months; No. 2 slot in the department of Public Safety is held by Tonia Grdina, a 21-year-old undergraduate at Cleveland State University. The Kucinich appointees quickly became known as the City Hall Raiders. To their credit, the Raiders rooted...

...brothers far dodgier. Born in Manchester, England, to Barbara (a former nightclub singer) and Hugh Gibb (leader of a 13-piece dance band on a ferryboat), the brothers started singing in public in 1955 due to technical difficulties. Barry, then nine, and the twins Robin and Maurice, three years younger, would show up at local Manchester movie palaces and come out between shows as the Rattlesnakes, dancing and moving their lips to pop records piped in from backstage. One day the record broke just as they were about to do a Tommy Steele ditty, and the Rattlesnakes were on their...
