...books and 10,000 reference books, 18,000 prints, and a study archive of 90,000 photographs. Their value is not publicly known, but it stands well over $100 million, since Mellon's bequest to Yale forms the most systematic collection of British art, mainly 18th and early 19th century, in existence outside London's Tate Gallery. Mellon has thus in a few years given away buildings and works of art worth rather more than $200 million.

Dr. and Mrs. Weiss behaved with such genteel forbearance down to the last horror of the Zyklon B showers that their journey seemed like Mr. and Mrs. Miniver Go to Auschwitz. The lovers, Rudi and Helena, romped in the Ukraine wearing clothes that looked like peasant chic from Bloomingdale...

...painting, two great landscapists, Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne, are twin bridges between the 19th century and our own.
