Rocket Man: Robert H. Goddard and the Birth of the Space Age, by David A. Clary. Hyperion. 368 pages. $24.95. It's tempting, when retelling the story of the pioneers of modern science, to portray them as prescient, dedicated in the face of doubters, beloved by their peers and selfless in the pursuit of knowledge. Not long after word got out about his first rocket experiments in a Massachusetts farm field, Americans began to regard Robert H. Goddard as such a pioneer. Sensational press coverage, which he scarcely discouraged, had people around the world anticipating that a moon shot was imminent in the 1920s.

Stephen Doyle Clary, a retired FBI agent who earned a reputation as a skilled investigator of bank robberies, narcotics trafficking and organized crime, died of cancer Sunday at his Stoneleigh home. He was 58. Born in Delmar, N.Y., he earned a nautical engineering degree from the State University of New York Maritime College in Throgs Neck. Commissioned a merchant marine officer, he served three years before joining the FBI in 1970. Initially assigned to Savannah, Ga., he was sent to Baltimore after the May 1972 shooting of presidential candidate and Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace on a campaign stop at a Laurel shopping center parking lot. Mr. Clary was one of dozens of agents assigned to investigate the would-be assassin, Arthur H. Bremer.

An awards banquet is usually a tribute to excellence and sacrifice, not a life-changing experience. But Justin Clary's life took a sharp turn last night. Clary, a guard on Eastern Tech's football team, was planning to enlist in the Air Force the day after he graduated. But then a funny thing happened: Clary and Patapsco girls basketball player Brittany Fairley were chosen as the McCormick Unsung Heroes at the awards banquet at the Hunt Valley Marriott. Clary and Fairley will receive the Charles Perry McCormick scholarships, worth $30,000 each over four years.

Howard County State's Attorney Timothy J. McCrone has tapped a Circuit Court prosecutor as his point man for drug distribution cases, following through on a campaign promise to try to bring consistency to drug prosecutions. Brendan Clary, a five-year veteran of the office, will handle the "yeoman's share" of the office's cases against drug dealers in the county, working with Howard police narcotics officers from the investigation stage through trial and sentencing, McCrone said this week.

The Oakland Mills Tiger Sharks, the team with the fewest members in the Columbia Neighborhood Swim League, had won only one meet since 1993 entering Saturday's competition against the Clary's Forest Sundevils. But they are back in the win column, thanks to a 307-296 victory over the Sundevils at the Swansfield pool. Tigers Sharks head coach Brandon Thornton, 24, remembers the victory 14 years ago when he was a 10-year-old swimmer on the team. He watched them win once more as an assistant coach in a meet against Clary's Forest in 2003.
