* Ryan’s Fight: Ryan White’s mother is going on the road to promote “Ryan White: My Own Story,” the late Indiana teen-ager’s story of his fight against AIDS. “Ryan’s mission was for us to fight the disease instead of fighting the gays, the drug users,” Jeanne White told People magazine. “Everyone is an innocent victim of this disease.” Ryan contracted AIDS through a tainted blood transfusion. “Sometimes when I go in his room, I break down completely, and some days I kind of smile at all the things he got to do.”

* Write Home: Playwright Tennessee Williams’ home in Key West, Fla., is on the block for $425,000. The frame home where Williams wrote “Night of the Iguana” and “Summer and Smoke” has stood vacant since he died in 1983. “It’s a very pleasant house, and it’s got a writing place in the corner at the swimming pool where somebody might do great works,” said poet Richard Wilbur, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner.

* Iben Wrong Before: Iben Browning, the scientist who created seismic worries in the Midwest last year by wrongly predicting a massive earthquake, won the National Anxiety Center’s Chicken Little Award. Said a center spokesman in Maplewood, N.J.: “Browning managed to scare the daylights out of people in seven Midwestern states, provide one of the most dubious news stories of the year and demonstrate that anyone with a Ph.D. is given free reign to create a high level of public anxiety.”

* Red Alert: The emperor of Japan has broken with imperial prerogatives and ordered his motorcade to stop at Tokyo traffic lights. Emperor Akihito’s limousine and his security cars stopped five times at red signals Sunday afternoon during a private trip from the palace. Before Sunday, lights were timed to show green for the emperor.
