...Says Danish-born Craftsman Tage Frid, 67, of Foster, R.I.: "Furniture building should be very clear, very straightforward. A chair should say, 'Come and sit here,' and it should fit you in any position you want to sit." Thomas Moser, 47, a onetime college professor who runs a furniture workshop in a former Grange hall in New Gloucester, shuns ornament - the joints in his furniture are the only decorative elements. Moser works mostly in red-hued cherry. He says, "It's stable and tools well. You can sand it to a beautiful polish." Moser never uses stains...
...Oporto. There, with national elections scheduled for Sunday, he planned to deliver a final hortatory salvo to promote his presidential candidate-but no relation-General António Soares Carneiro. With the Prime Minister, in the twin-engine Cessna C-421, were his longtime companion, Danish-born Snu Abecassis; Defense Minister Adeline Amaro da Costa and his wife; Cabinet Chief António Patricio Gouveia and two pilots.

Except for occasional appearances at horse shows and the like, all avoid Rome's lively social scene...
High jinks and high Cs reigned supreme throughout the operatic career of the Danish-born heldentenor (heroic tenor). For 24 seasons (1926-50) at the Met, it was impossible to imagine Wagner without "the Great Dane." He sang in more than 1,000 Wagnerian performances-more than three times the total of any other singer-with no hint of diminution of the robust tenor that could swoop from a splendorous high to a deep, resonant...
Franco's Danish-born wife had proposed to him, fixed their wedding date, and bought their house. She earned more money than he did, and paid most of the bills. She decided when, and where, they were to have sex and, no doubt, kept a lover on the side. When he had remonstrated-once-she had told him that as the breadwinner, she was entitled to call the tune. She had gone on to suggest that his job was irrelevant: Why didn't he stay at home and become a househusband...
