Attending a golden anniversary meeting of Old Settlers in the booming city of Tempe, Ariz. (pop. 16,900), Arizona's long-settled Democratic Senator Carl Hayden, 82, born in an Arizona hamlet once known as Hay den's Ferry (so dubbed after his father and now called Tempe), gave the youngsters in their '50s and his contemporaries some earthy advice: "Believe me, I don't take my work to bed with me. I always figured you couldn't solve any problems between the sheets...
ALMOST a century ago a Belgian knight named Fritz Mayer van den Bergh began collecting art objects. He concentrated on Northern Renaissance examples, amassed some 1,000 pieces of high quality before his death in 1901.

His free time is generally spent with his wife in a sprawling Victorian house in Hawley, Pa.; it is her family home and they were married there, have never given...
