...Great Fosters, only half an hour from London, is believed to have been built by Henry VIII in the 16th century. Its residents have included Henry's doomed queen Anne Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth I and James I. Great Fosters' unique feature is its celebrated gardens, trimmed through the centuries by fleets of gardeners. Its antique atmosphere is further heightened by the formality of its more than 50 servants. The 22 guest rooms range from $10.50 a day (for a single) to $24 (for a double suite...
...religion. She belongs in the trail-blazing company she keeps, an experimental elite-educators of educators-that includes M.I.T. Physicist Jerrold Zacharias, Harvard Psychologist Jerome Bruner and U.S. Commissioner of Education Francis Keppel. To Colleague Bruner, "she is in the great tradition of the abbesses of the 16th century." Co-Panelist Zacharias, a frugal man with superlatives, says, "She may well turn out to be the Joan of Arc of education...
...Down Reputation. In his own lifetime, which spanned the late 15th and the early 16th centuries, Carpaccio's fortunes fluctuated, much as his reputation has waxed and waned ever since. When he was in his 50s, he was revered, but in the last years of his life he could scarcely find work enough to sustain him in Venice and had to rely on lesser commissions in the provinces.

...souvenirs for tourists or the scrolls for such honorary citizens of Antwerp as General Anthony C. McAuliffe, Viscount Montgomery and Sir Winston Churchill. The house is now a museum, filled not only with the tools of the trade (15,000 type matrices and 5,000 punches, mostly from the 16th century), but also with more than 18,000 drawings, woodcuts and copperplate engravings used for illustrations. Though it is the best collection of its kind, it has been shown outside Antwerp only twice-in Belgrade and Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale. Last week a generous portion of the collection...
...penitent Americans. In the morning, U.S. golfers swept all four Scotch foursomes (in which the two men on each team take turns hitting the ball) and led by the score of 7-6. By midafternoon, they had added three straight singles victories. On the 16th green, two up over England's Mike Lunt, New Jersey's Bob Gardner, 41, was surveying a tricky, 4-ft. putt when Captain Tufts whispered in his ear. "Bob," he said, "this is the one we need." Gardner calmly stepped up, sank the putt-and with it the British hope for a Walker...
