MAY 31, 2008 THE BOSTON GLOBE A13 John Greene; old-school savvy detective By J.M. Lawrence GLOBE CORRESPONDENT For 37 years, Detective John J. "Jay" Greene policed the Dorchester streets of his own rebellious youth, coupling a sarcastic wit with hard-working ways in a career that became the center of his life. He took early retirement last year, but lung cancer altered his plan to retire to the beaches of Falmouth and Fort Lauderdale. Mr.

Greene, who lived in Quincy, died May 21 at age 62. Sergeant Daniel Downey, who was Mr. Greene's supervisor for decades, said he always "gave his whole heart to the job." The respect Mr. Greene commanded on the streets helped solve crimes, Downey said. Tip- DEATHS SULLIVAN, Atty.

BY YOUR LOVING SMILE. YOUR HANDSOME FACE. NO ONE CAN YOUR VACANT PLACE. YOUR LOVING FAMILY Obituaries On Halloween one year, he showed up at the home of a police superintendent dressed as a flasher wearing pink boxer shorts. In the interrogation rooms of the Boston Police Department, Mr.

Greene was "a good closer," according to Jack Parlon, president of the Boston Police Department Benevolent Society, who knew Mr. Greene from the first days of their careers. "He could get us where we needed to be." Mr. Greene did his job well by always allowing defendants "that little area a of respect," he said. "He allowed people their dignity, and it paid dividends." Mr.

Greene grew up in South Boston and Dorchester. He was the son of the late John Greene and Mary (Mulkerin) Greene. His friends and family said they did not know why he chose to become a police officer in 1970. "No one knows why, because he was a bit of a rebel," said his cousin Ellen McDonough of Quincy. "Once he became a police officer, it was his whole life." As a teenager, he dropped out of English High School and later earned his GED, she said.

He was married briefly and had three daughters. "He was your best friend, or your worst enemy. We didn't know how many people he helped until he died," she said, noting the many messages his daughters have received from families of victims as well as suspects Mr. Greene arrested while working for the drug unit. Mr.

Greene knew personally about the agony of addictions. "He lived with his monsters, but he overcame them. He was an alcoholic," Parlon said. He had been sober for more than two decades, relatives said. Almost two years ago, Mr.

Greene stopped by C-11 and noticed a familiar name in the lock- George Garrett, versatile author, By Adam Bernstein WASHINGTON POST WASHINGTON George Garrett, the author of more than 30 books of fiction, poetry, biography, and criticism, including an acclaimed trilogy of historical novels set in Elizabethan England, died Monday at his home in Charlottesville, of bladder cancer. He was 78. Mr. Garrett retired in 2000 from the University of Virginia as the Henry Hoyns professor of creative writing. He earlier had directed the school's creative writdepartment.

In a multifaceted career, he was regarded by his admirers as a classic man of letters. He wrote poetry and short stories that were deceptively colloquial, deeply moralistic, and concerned with one's place in a corrupting world. Mr. Garrett was poet laureate of Virginia from 2002 to 2004 and the recipient in 1989 of the Ingersoll Foundation's T.S. Eliot Award for Creative Writing, which recognized him as "one of the most inventive and artistic writers of his generation." He wrote across many genres, from a political drama set in modern Florida Finished Man," 1961) to a Southern gothic tale of a revivalist preacher Lord, Remember Me," 1965).

He wrote his Elizabethan trilogy "Death of the Fox," "The Succession," and "Entered From the Sun" over three decades, and he chose radically different forms of storytelling in what Richard Dillard, a Garrett specialist who teaches at Hollins College, called "his quest never to write the same book twice." "Death of the Fox" (1971) provided Mr. Garrett with his only bestseller. He spent 13 years writing the book, originally part of his Joseph Pevney, 96; directed popular 'Star Trek' episodes Trek' episodes Soul," the classic boxing film in which he played John Garfield's feisty pal, Shorty Polaski. He made his debut as a film director with "Shakedown," a 1950 film noir with Howard Duff, Brian Donlevy, and Lawrence Tierney. Mr.

Pevney went on to direct more than 35 movies, most of them in the '50s, including "Meet Danny Wilson" (starring Frank Sinatra and Shelley Winters), "3 Ring Circus" (starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis), "Female on the Beach" (starring Joan Crawford and Jeff Chandler), and "Twilight for the Gods" (starring Rock Hudson and Cyd Charisse). At his peak at Universal-International in 1957, Mr. Pevney had three movies open simultaneously in Los Angeles theaters: "Man of a Thousand Faces," a biographical drama about silent film star Lon Chaney, starring James Cagney; "Tammy and the Bachelor," a comedy-romance starring Debbie Reynolds; and "The Midnight Story," a crime-drama starring Tony Curtis. Mr. Pevney retired in 1985 and moved to Palm Desert several years later.

His first wife, actress Mitzi Green, died in 1969; his second wife, Philippa, died in 1996; and his son David died in 1998. In addition to Margo, his wife of six years, and his son Jay, Mr. Pevney leaves his daughter, Jan Pevney Holt; his son Joel; two grandchildren; and three great grandchildren. 85; oversaw massive radio telescope project project, the largest the National Science Foundation had funded at the time. He had to deal with a number of knotty technical challenges, including how to transport 27 fragile, 100-foot-tall antennas and deploy them in a precise Y-shaped arrangement across the New Mexico desert.

A boyhood interest in trains suggested a solution: transporting the 230-ton antennas on railroad tracks via a specially designed vehicle, which the Very Large Array staff dubbed "Hein's Trein." Mr. Hvatum was born in Tonsberg, Norway, and displayed an early interest in trains, planes, electronics, and engineering. His father, one of the first electrical engineers in Norway, had been trained in Germany, spoke fluent German, and was able to help the Norwegian Resistance throughout at 78; poet sters called the station asking for "Curley," a nickname he got in the 1970s because of his long curls. "There were times you would go to a crime scene and nobody would talk to you," he said. "Somewhere in the crowd you would hear this word, and they would start telling him what we wanted to know.

That's how we solved a lot of our stuff." In Dorchester District Court, where Mr. Greene became a fixture over the years, he was an opinionated old-school officer who managed to win the respect of "both sides," said the court's chief probation officer, Bernard L. Fitzgerald. "He was an excellent police officer and he was also a mentor who cared," Fitzgerald said. "He understood how people can make mistakes." Mr.

Greene spent most of his career working in the drug unit out of the C-11 Dorchester precinct. His legacy may be the tight rein Boston police keep on youthful offenders who break curfews imposed as part of their probation, colleagues said. When judges began imposing curfews more than a decade ago, Mr. Greene started managing the database so patrol officers would have lists when they found offenders on the streets after hours. "He knew those defendants are the most serious at-risk kids likely to be your next victims or your suspects," said former Suffolk prosecutor Terry Reidy, now a prosecutor in Worcester.

"He cared, that was the bottom line." He was also "tough as hell," Reidy said. "He'd say, 'Don't try and fight every single and he'd never take his own advice." Mr. Greene enjoyed playing softball in an annual charity tournament for Easter Seals and in the district court's tournament. He also liked joking around. By Dennis McLellan LOS ANGELES TIMES LOS ANGELES Joseph Pevney, a film and television director who directed some of the most popular episodes of the original "Star Trek" television series in the late 1960s, has died.

He was 96. Mr. Pevney, a former Broadway actor who played supporting roles in several films in the late 1940s before directing movies such as "Man of a Thousand Faces" and "Tammy and the Bachelor," died May 18 of age-related causes at his home in Palm Desert, said his wife, Margo. Focusing on television from the early 1960s to the mid-'80s when he retired, Mr. Pevney directed episodes of numerous television series such as "Wagon Train," "The Munsters," "The Fugitive," "12 O'Clock High," "The Virginian," "Adam-12," "Marcus Welby, M.D." "Emergency," "The Incredible Hulk," "Fantasy Island," "Medical Center," and "Trapper John, M.D." But "Star Trek," the classic science-fiction series that ran on NBC from 1966 to 1969, proved to be Mr.

Pevney's most enduring television credit as a director. As has been noted on "Star Trek" fan sites since his death, Mr. Pevney directed 14 episodes of the original series, tying with the late Marc Daniels as the credited director of the most episodes. Mr. Pevney directed some of the top fan-favorite episodes, including "The City on the Edge of Hein Hvatum, By Joe Holley WASHINGTON POST WASHINGTON Hein Hvatum, who in the 1970s and '80s supervised the construction of one of the world's most powerful radio observatories, died of cancer May 22 at his home in Charlottesville, Va.

He was 85. In 1974, Mr. Hvatum assumed responsibility for construction of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Large Array, an arrangement of radio telescopes in central New Mexico (perhaps best known to the general public for its appearance in the 1997 movie "Contact," with Jodie Foster). Completed in 1982, the Very Large Array is used by astronomers 24 hours a day to gather data from celestial objects. Mr.

Hvatum was responsible for computing, antenna design, and electronics for the $78 million JOHN J. GREENE up, an addict whom he first arrested in 1970, back when the prisoner was a teenager who had just escaped from a reform schooling in a stolen car. "I last seen him just before he was diagnosed," said the man, who is now in his 50s and asked that his name not be published. "I got dragged in on a warrant. He was in the station and he came over to the cell.

He said, 'I thought you Mr. Greene had offered to help the man get sober in the past and once again, he urged him to start over. "You know what you have to do," he told him. A month later, the man did stop using drugs and alcohol and has remained sober, he said in a phone interview. When he heard that Mr.

Greene had died, he took a bus to O'Connor Son Funeral Home in Dorchester last week and whispered a farewell. "Jay was a good cop," he said. "He was a straight shooter. He gave you a shot." Mr. Greene leaves three daughters, Jennifer Horgan of Marshfield, Melissa Freitas of Weymouth, and Kristian Auzenne Hammond of East Bridgewater; and eight grandchildren.

Services have been held. Burial was in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Dorchester. COURTESY OF 1979 Joseph Pevney directed episodes of many television dramas of the 1960s and 1970s. Forever," "Amok Time," "The Trouble With Tribbles," and "Journey to Babel." "The first half of the second year of the show, when he was alternating with Marc Daniels, is regarded as the best part of the series," said Jeff Bond, author of "The Music of Star Trek" and editor of the magazine Geek Monthly. "That's when it hit its stride.

There was more humor, it was more adventurous, and the tone, I think, was lighter." George Takei, who played Sulu on the series, recalled Mr. Pevney as being "very organized and authoritarian" as a director. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA FILE GEORGE GARRETT Princeton University doctoral thesis, about poet and adventurer Walter Raleigh. Its sweep and authority were widely praised, as were its vivid recreation of the period and its personalities. "The Succession" (1983) focused on the ascension of James VI of Scotland to the throne of England after the death of Elizabeth I and was told through a variety of characters, including two runaway Catholic priests.

"Entered From the Sun" (1990) used the device of two detectives, an actor, and a spy, looking to solve the stabbing death of playwright Christopher Marlowe in 1593. Raleigh appears at the end, drawing the trilogy to a close. Many profiles drew attention to Mr. Garrett's devotion to craft, but he was a notably goodhumored man who treasured the "Golden Turkey" award bestowed on "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster," a cheapie Hollywood film he wrote as a lark in 1965. He liked to joke that the film, also released as "Mars Invades Puerto Rico," was "the only movie I've ever seen that's greatly enhanced by regular commercial interruption." Lorenzo Odone got his diagnosis when he was 6.

Lorenzo Odone, subject of film 'Lorenzo's Oil' By Sarah Brumfield "He was very precise in what he wanted," Takei said, "but he was very relaxed in fact, jovial in the way he directed. I enjoyed working with him." Born in New York City, Mr. Pevney launched his more than 60- year show-business career in 1924 as a boy soprano in vaudeville. After becoming an actor, he appeared on Broadway in the '30s and '40s in plays such as "Battle Hymn," "The World We Make," "Native Son," and "Home of the Brave." Mr. Pevney appeared in "Thieves' Highway," "The Street With No Name," and "Body and World War II.

During the German occupation of Norway, the younger Hvatum hid in underbrush and took photographs of military aircraft landing and taking off at Oslo Airport, Fornebu. He was never caught. He graduated from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim in 1950 and received a doctorate in electronic engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden in 1954. He first came to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, based in Green Bank, W.Va., as a research associate in 1958. After a brief sojourn in Sweden, he returned in 1961 as an electronics engineer at the observatory.

He became head of the electronics division the next year, was made associate director of technical serv- ASSOCIATED PRESS ices in 1972, and was responsible for the completion of the 36mm telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. Mr. Hvatum became acting director at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in 1984 and project manager for the Very Long Baseline Array the next year. He retired in 1987. In retirement, he was a ham radio operator and was active with both national and international groups seeking to protect radio frequencies for radio astronomy.

A member of the Albemarle Amateur Radio Club, he organized a number of community emergency preparedness drills. He was an avid cyclist. He leaves his wife of 61 years, Randi of Charlottesville; two children, Kjeld of St. Louis and Elisabeth of Charlottesville; and five grandchildren. WASHINGTON The man whose parents' battle to save him from a nerve disease was told in the movie "Lorenzo's Oil" died yesterday at his home in Virginia.

Lorenzo Odone, who doctors had predicted would not live past childhood, died one day after his 30th birthday, said his father, Augusto. Lorenzo Odone became infected with aspiration pneumonia recently after getting food stuck in his lungs, his father said. Mr. Odone was found at age 6 to have adrenoleukodystrophy, or ALD. His doctors told his parents the disease caused by a genetic mutation that causes the neurological system to break down would lead to death in two years.

The disease leads to the accumulation of substances called very long chain fatty acids in cells, which damages the material that coats nerve fibers in the brain. Susan Sarandon and Nick Nolte starred as Michaela and Augusto Odone in 1992's "Lorenzo's Oil," which recounted their efforts to formulate the oil they said helped their son fight the disease, despite lacking scientific backgrounds. Sarandon earned an Academy Award nomination. A study published in 2005, based on research with 84 boys, showed that a treatment made from olive and rapeseed oils patented by Augusto Odone can prevent onset of the disease's symptoms for most boys who receive an ALD diagnosis. Odone plans to take his son's ashes to New York to mix them with those of his wife, who died in 2000.

Then, Odone said, he will move back to his native Italy..
