...paintings, though it sometimes takes a jeweler's loupe to read all the fine print. In one painting a Paris streetwalker in all the trappings of her profession, from necklace cross to handbag to ankle bracelet, loiters in her doorway next to the Hôtel Beau Séjour. There will be no séjour today, however; on the hotel's door a tiny sign reads: "Closed for vacation." In another of Sivard's pictures, a Parisian nun is emerging from a Metro station with the frosted-glass peacock's fan of the canopy...
...program called it the $125,000 Washington, D.C. International, and 13 thoroughbreds from nine nations pranced to the post at Maryland's Laurel Race Course.

"I saw him coming," said Kelso's jockey Ismael Valenzuela, "but I just couldn't do anything about...
With money from its first public stock issue last February, B.V.D. has acquired four firms. First was Beau Brummel Ties, Inc., which has sales of $4,000,000 and is the only moneymaker Kittay ever bought. Next came Mullins Mills and County Mills, which together sell $20 million in knitted outerwear. Two months ago, Kittay moved into women's undergarments, bought Flexees International, which makes girdles, bras and swim suits. Using prudent aggression, Kittay hopes eventually to lift B.V.D. to first place from its present fourth place in men's underwear, behind Fruit of the Loom, Cooper...
