ROBERT BRUSS, 67 Real estate writer Robert Bruss, a nationally syndicated real estate columnist, author and investment adviser, died of cancer Wednesday at his Silicon Valley home, said Brad Inman, founder and publisher of Inman News. Mr. Bruss was known by peers as the "Dear Abby of Real Estate." For 23 years, he wrote seven columns a week for Inman, an independent news service focusing on real estate. After a brief hiatus this year, he resumed his busy schedule until his death. Mr. Bruss' articles - including the popular "Real Estate Mailbag" question-and-answer column - were syndicated in hundreds of newspapers nationwide and on Web sites.

Devotees of the "Peter Principle," which posits that people rise to their level of incompetence, will be fortified by the sad story of Les Aspin's woes as secretary of Defense and eagerly watching whether his designated successor, retired Adm. Bobby Ray Inman, also has limits yet to be revealed. Both men are brilliant, steeped in the esoterica of military science and dedicated to a strong defense. Where they differ is in method and personality.Mr. Aspin gives the appearance of a rumpled professor, ever searching for new ideas and enjoying the interplay of his intellect with the great game of politics.

WASHINGTON -- In the short term, the surprise decision of Bobby Ray Inman to withdraw as President Clinton's nominee to secretary of defense blindsides Clinton in the one area where he most needs an experienced hand well regarded in Congress and in the military.But in the long run, if Inman's convoluted explanation for his action is any indication of how he would have conducted himself under the public glare of that high-profile job, he has probably done the president a big favor.Inman's pullout leaves Clinton with egg on his face, particularly in light of the retired admiral's arrogant observation at the time of the nomination that he was taking the job only after having reached "a level of comfort" with Clinton's "role as the commander in chief while I was secretary of defense."

Dr. Byron Wallace Inman, an oral surgeon who made a family business of dentistry, died Friday of congestive heart failure at Homewood at Crumland Farms retirement community in Frederick. He was 87. A native of Mount Airy, N.C., Dr. Inman moved to Baltimore after high school to study dentistry at the urging of his uncle, also a dentist. After graduating from the University of Maryland dental school in the late 1930s, he attended to the teeth of Baltimoreans as part of a practice of three, with his uncle and his cousin.

Clarence S. Inman never said much about today's professional baseball players. He never questioned their high salaries or compared the talents of modern players to the skills of ballplayers from the 1930s and 1940s.He was just happy to see the athletes -- especially the black baseball players -- get the chance he never got.Mr. Inman, 80, who died July 3 of a heart attack at Bon Secours Hospital, played baseball for many years as a member of the Baltimore Elite Giants in the old Negro National League.

AUSTIN, Tex. -- At his Rose Garden introduction last week as the nation's next defense secretary, Bobby Ray Inman promised to apply the experience he gained in corporate America to the Pentagon in the hopes of bringing what he called the "best business practices" to the government and getting "a dollar value for a dollar spent on defense."But during the 1980s, Mr. Inman presided over a costly business debacle, a leveraged buyout failure that resulted in the bankruptcy of a Fortune 500 military contractor named Tracor Inc., which made submarine and aviation weapons systems.

WASHINGTON -- Perhaps the most baffling aspect of the surprise withdrawal of Bobby Ray Inman as President Clinton's nominee to run the Pentagon was the apparent willingness of this veteran of official Washington to believe that a conspiracy existed between the Republican leader of the Senate and a newspaper columnist to do him in.The allegation, denied by both of the supposed conspirators, Sen. Bob Dole and William Safire of the New York Times, was so...

Dr. Conrad L. Inman Jr., a retired oral surgeon who was a statewide leader in his profession, died of complications from pneumonia Thursday at the Keswick Multi-Care Center, where he had lived for the past four years. The former longtime Homeland resident was 82. "I think half of Baltimore would associate the name Inman with oral surgery," said Dr. John J. Mitcherling, an oral surgeon and friend. "He had a strong character and possessed strong moral values. He spoke the truth and lived his life that way. He was a leading force in his profession and developed a long history of admirers because of the individual he was."

Scott Inman and Dan DeRisio, who started the round with a three-stroke lead, protected enough of it in a steady cold rain to win the annual Maryland Cup at Baltimore Country Club yesterday.The Springfield (Va.) Country Club pair did not make a birdie in struggling to a 3-over-par 73. But after opening with a 63 Saturday, it was good for 136, and a one-stroke edge on Pat Tallent-Bill Musto, from Lowes Island Club in Sterling, Va., 66-71--137.Steve Thomas-Dan Hoffman of Crofton Country Club had the day's low round in the championship division with a 69 and finished third, 70-69--139.

It doesn't take much to get Joe Inman talking. Sometimes the former PGA Tour player doesn't even need a question to take off on a monologue.Part way through a recent conversation, he offered, "I tell people I turned more guys pro, because they'd see me and they'd think, 'Hey, if he can make it, I can make it.' "Inman made it well enough to earn some $750,000 during a 14-year career that ended after the 1986 season. "I was almost 40, had no job and no rich relatives. I had to go to work," he says.
