...elegant town house in Philadelphia's Delancey Place. Soon, writes Walter, Harris had collected "several thousand dollars worth" of suits, jewelry (he went for diamond and sapphire rings), an expensive Daimler automobile, credit cards, exotic birds, camera equipment. The Buck name drew well, and by 1965 the board of governors included Art Buchwald, Sargent Shriver and Mrs. William Scranton. The foundation prospered...
...York Stock Exchange, long castigated by Government and other critics for acting as a private club run for the profit of a privileged few, moved last week to revise its membership.

...title says, and the ménage à trois quickly proves insupportable. The truth is that even when it was a ménage à deux, the Howards were a loveless, childless couple. At the first signs of offspring, Howard decides to abandon his bed and board to run off with the girl. When Ella's alarm turns out false, so do the marriage, the liaison-and the poses of all the principals...
