The author and Steve Pieczenik "created" the plot and characters for a new best-seller, "Tom Clancy's Op-Center," leaving the writing to somebody named Jeff Rovin. Clancy defends his approach as honest. "George Lucas didn't write all the 'Star Wars' books," he says. "Gene Roddenberry didn't write all the 'Star Trek' books." Rolling Stone magazine asked country's WILLIE NELSON who could party the hardest, KRIS KRIS-TOFFERSON or WAYLON JENNINGS. His answer: "Well, I wish you hadn't said Kris.

I can out-party Waylon but Kris, he makes it a religion." Somebody asked an aide to ROSEANNE at her wedding this week to Ben Thomas why the guest list included her first husband, Bill Pentland. The answer: "He's the father of her children." So why did it omit second husband TOM ARNOLD? "He's and you can quote me on that." ON THIS DAY On Feb. 17, 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its "one-man, one-vote" decision on congressional districts. TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS Writer Margaret Truman Daniel 71 Actor Hal Holbrook 70 Actor Alan Bates 61 Football's Jim Brown 59 Actress Mary Ann Mobley 56 Actor Lou Diamond Phillips 33 Athlete Michael Jordan 32 'A, By Tom Uhlenbrock Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Thelma Hilliard met a milestone in American history and walked away with a kiss and a lipstick smudge on her cheek.

The fourth-graders in Thelma's class at Jackson Park School in University City were asked to write essays about the person they admired most. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a popular subject.

So was Rosa Parks. Thelma chose Shirley Chisholm, and drew a portrait of her for extra credit. "She was the first black lady of Congress," Thelma explained, Chisholm, who in 1972 also became the first black woman to run for president, was speaking Thursday night at Webster University. A meeting was arranged. Thelma squirmed in a chair in Sun-nen Lounge, giggling with her parents, Lawrence and June Hilliard.

But she immediately recognized the gray-haired woman who strolled by. "That's her," she said, and jumped up to greet the object of her admiration. The 9-year-old was nearly as big as the former New York congresswom-an, who weighed 98 pounds when elected to the House of Representatives in 1968. "I'm a great big fat thing of 115 now," smiled Chisholm. Chisholm marveled at Thelma's artwork and said it would take a prominent place among portraits given her by children throughout the country.

"A friend helped me with the glasses," said Thelma. Although she's been out of Congress more than a decade, Chisholm noted that her talks still attract audiences. Tidbits from Broadway: BETTY BUCKLEY, late of "Eight Is Enough," will be Broadway's next Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Sunset Boulevard." The actress will replace GLENN CLOSE on July 4, the day after Buckley's 47th birthday. JULIE ANDREWS, 59, last opened on Broadway in 1960, in "Camelot." Now, she's returning in the stage-musical version of "Victor-Victoria," which husband BLAKE EDWARDS made as a movie in 1982. Down in Montgomery, a committee is raising money to make a memorial out of the boyhood home of singer NAT "KING" COLE.

He was born in Montgomery in 1919 and lived there until age 7, when his family moved to Chicago. Cole died 30 years ago this week. Wendi FitzgeraldPost-Dispatch Shirley Chisholm expresses her delight with a portrait painted for her by Thelma Hilliard, 9, of Jackson Park School in University City. The two met Thursday at Webster University. when yet another question was asked, and her answer was met with disbelief.

"I don't get overly excited when people say I was the first black woman to be in Congress," she said. "But I do get excited when I tell them I'm 70, and they say I look 50." After a round of picture-taking, the two walked their separate ways. "I've met a special person," said Thelma. "I tell them education is the key to everything," she said. "They shouldn't pay attention to doomsday criers.

Stand firm and persist, and they'll succeed." Chisholm lost her smile when asked how the current Congress was faring. "Don't broach that subject," she said. "There's a real retrogression of the civil rights movement going on in America."
