...will be a standard family Christmas," said the secretary in London. Arriving for the holidays from school in Gstaad, Switzerland, were the kiddies, led by Liza Todd Fisher, 5, looking like Mother Elizabeth Taylor from the eyes up and-clutching a tabloid but no cigar -like her late father Mike Todd from the nose down. With Liza came Half Brothers Michael, 9, and Christopher Wilding, 7; only adopted Baby Sister Maria Fisher, 2, stayed in Gstaad, would miss all the fun at the Dorchester with Mommy and Uncle Dickie Burton. Meanwhile, winging in from Switzerland...
...city of New York has its share of great museums, but there is one rich area of art that none of them give adequate houseroom to. This is American folk art-the vast treasury of weather vanes and limners' portraits, of whittled toys and cigar-store Indians that were also objects of genuine beauty. To those with affection for the field, this shortcoming has been especially galling, for there was a time when the city had two of the best collections in the country.

Of the organized German nudists, most are laborers, tradesmen and white-collar workers. But not all. Clad only in signet ring and cigar, some of Germany's richest and most famed industrialists also frolic in the buff at exclusive North Sea beaches. What they all have in common, explains an earnest West German sociologist, is a need to escape from the tedium of the affluent society-"the craving to have something that...
...there was no trace of the bronchitis that had worried doctors during his convalescence. So, after 54 days in London's Middlesex Hospital, Sir Winston Churchill, 87, went home at last. Carried to a waiting ambulance in a sedan chair, the couchant old lion, chomping his usual Havana cigar and giving a victorious V-sign to a cheering curbside crowd of 1,000, was whisked away to his Hyde Park Gate home for a champagne toast to his recovery. Puffed one proud bystander: "He's a ruddy marvel...
