...longer the canal stays shut, the harder it will be to open. Silt is piling up in the canal so fast in the absence of dredging operations since June that five feet of navigable depth have already been lost. "If the canal stays closed another year," said an American engineer in Beirut last week, "it will be in such bad shape that they might as well turn it into an irrigation ditch and plant potatoes around it." Even the Egyptians seemed to be looking for alternatives: off to London last week went an official delegation to discuss construction...
...decorators and clients alike, the most important part of the entire undertaking is the in-depth interviewing at the very outset. Do the members of the family live formally or informally? Do they favor buffet suppers or sit-down dinners? Do they play bridge? Are they hi-fi buffs? Do they have young children or teenagers? What are their hobbies?

Steve Downes will play for Darry Harvey in the last slot...
...geometry; it creates the tension that gives them vibrancy and verve. Although the 50 paintings on view appear to be little more than decorative flat arrangements of squares, lozenges and ovals, in fact the shapes are knitted together in complex honeycombs to create rippling illusions of perspective and depth. Glowing with savage chartreuses, electric blues, racing-silk greens and murky purple shadows, his panels, priced at up to $14,500, have made Vasarely the darling of multimillionaire collectors, including the Rothschilds and the Aga Khan...
