...lack of political awareness. Although she is a third-generation Californian, she divides her time between her Los An geles home and a Paris studio, at times painting landscapes, but concentrating mostly on faces. A 5-ft. 2-in. dynamo whose canvases often turn out to be bigger than she is, Artist Pike has a widely established reputation as a portraitist. Her commissions have included paintings of Art Connoisseur Norton Simon and his family, Bob Hope (who owns more than 20 of her works), Washington's National Gallery Director John Walker, Louvre Conservator Magdeleine Hours and Swiss sculptor Alberto...

It did look like a summit at that: Santo ("Louis Santos") Trafficante, 51, boss of Cuba's pre-Castro gambling, Thomas ("Tommy Ryan") Eboli, 55, running...
...year's notice that their contracts call for. The three, plus Violist Alan Iglitzin, who was released from the orchestra four months ago, are scheduled to perform their first concert next week as the university's new resident string quartet. Meanwhile, the orchestra is wrestling with even bigger problems: at week's end, the 105 Philadelphia musicians were locked in a bitter strike over salaries, forcing the cancellation of the first six concerts of their season...
