...childhood had better dig alone. Sheikie, "the famous child toe-dancer" of St. Agatha's, has degenerated into Sheila Artworth, a real estate broker's wife whose hair is now bluer than her blood. Mumbo, the skinny, frizzy-headed intellectual of the trio, has ballooned into Miss Clare Burkin-Jones, the burly, beturbaned boss of a London gift shop. But these distortions are nothing compared with the heightened powers of bitchery the little girls have acquired...
...York's Downstate Medical Center, Dr. John Madden reviewed the cases of 554 patients who have had various operations or combinations of them at St. Clare's Hospital, and reached a surprising conclusion: the best operation for most patients is "antrectomy" -removal of 35% to 40% of the stomach and hooking the remainder to the duodenum.

We treat men and women differently...

Bruce when he was U.S. Ambassador to France, and who worked in the same capacity for Clare Boothe Luce when she was U.S. Ambassador to Italy, was a ball of fire in the White House. But a ball of fire could not very well assume the role of anonymity that Jackie Kennedy requires. So in Tish's place will go Jackie's former roommate...
