THE AUTHORS. Author John Hersey, who has written several famous books, including A Bell for Adano (for which he won a Pulitzer Prize), Hiroshima and The Wall, lived with Negro families in Mississippi while observing firsthand the hazards of the voter-registration drive . . . - Editor-at-large John Bird, who assisted Mary Ann Fischer with her article on the first year in the life of her remarkable children, is a midwesterner, born and reared on a Kansas farm. His parents owned a county-seat newspaper, which ushered him into journalism; he became an editor of a former Curtis publication, Country Gentleman, in 1942, and moved to The Post in 1955. . . . Although he loves animals, James Atwater has less unusual taste in house pets than Peter Stickland, whose problems with crocodiles Atwater recounts this week. Atwater has a 90-pound Labrador retriever, upon whose back he rests his feet while writing. - - - Editor-at-large Roger Kahn, who told of the decline of the New York Yankees in the Sept. 12 Post, this week describes men with a much more confident outlook: the U.S. defenders of the Davis Cup. . . . Associate science editor Fredric C. Appel, who reveals the misfortunes of a family that discovered its home contaminated by radioactivity, was science writer for The Wall Street Journal before joining The Post. . . - To research the daytime-TV story, Brock Brower had to rent a set and watch it in his office. His wife would not allow daytime television in her house. . . Although law-enforcement officials refused to disclose the whereabouts of Hector Mangual, key witness against a Brooklyn underworld gang, Trevor Armbrister found his man and got his story. Armbrister, whose usual beat is Latin America, got along well with Mangual because of his knowledge of Spanish.
