  BBC - A Sporting Nation - Ian Stewart
Ian Stewart is widely regarded as one of Scotland and Birchfield Harriers' greatest runners.
Ian McCafferty took the silver medal in a Scottish Native record of 13m 23.4 with the illustrious Keino in the bronze medal position.
Stewart finished strongly to snatch the bronze medal on the line from the American Steve Prefontaine in 13:27:6 but he knew only too well that it was an opportunity lost to achieve his ambition to become Olympic champion.

  Ian Stewart (musician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stewart, or "Stu", played keyboards on most of the Stones' essential albums from the 1960s until the 1980s, though his work was often supplemented by such guests as session pianist Nicky Hopkins, soul musician Billy Preston, Phil Spector and Neil Young associate Jack Nitzsche and Ian McLagan of The Faces.
Stewart and Jones had been the musical leaders in the first incarnation of the Stones but distinct stylistical differences — the former's love of the jazzier boogie-woogie RandB of the Forties, the latter's penchant for the electric blues of the Fifties — nearly led to the group breaking apart.
In a grateful gesture, Mick Jagger acknowledged Stewart's contributions to The Rolling Stones at the time of their induction to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 when he was inducted posthumously alongside his former bandmates.

Stewart, or Stu as he was called, was one of a core group of rhythm and blues enthusiasts that frequented Alexis Korner's blues club.

Ian Stewart died in 1985 before he could have a chance to be inducted into the rock n' roll hall of fame beside his beloved Rolling Stones.

 Posh volume pays tribute to sixth Stone, boogie-woogie pianist Ian Stewart
Stewart, who died from a heart attack at age 47 in 1985, is remembered in a lavish, expensive volume simply titled "Stu" that is more a privately published, family keepsake than just another rock coffee-table book for the shelves of Borders.
In a sign of the regard in which the gruff, no-nonsense Stewart is unanimously held by his associates, every current and former living member of the Stones contributed detailed oral histories to the deluxe volume, which comes in a leather-bound edition with a hand-signed and numbered print from guitarist Ronnie Wood.
Stewart immediately went to work as the band's road manager, a position he would hold for the rest of his life, playing piano for the group on recording sessions and in the shadows at concerts.

 IAN STEWART
Ian Stewart is a distinguished British mathematician and writer.
As I understand Stewart’s notions, in his view the distinction between “order” and “disorder” has no rigorous definition but only an intuitive understanding which is one of the reasons that the definition of entropy as a measure of disorder is not well-substantiated.
Stewart suggests that a Fourth law of thermodynamics may indeed exist, but in his view it is not the putative law of conservation of information (which, I believe, belongs in crank science) but rather a more plausible “2

Stewart cut this collection of 15 mostly-oldies for an MTV appearance with Ron Wood, who is featured not only on guitar but on the front cover (!).
Stewart didn't write anything and seems to have done little more than overdub his vocals onto the pre-fab backing tracks, and there are so many hack writers involved that there's no coherent sound.
As if Stewart hasn't already devolved into a walking soft rock parody of himself, now he's decided to cash in with a set of half-century old pop standards that no self-respecting rocker would have touched back in his glory years (except Ringo Starr, of course).
