...several weeks ago in the bride-to-be's bedroom, where, as Luci popped out of the adjoining sitting room wearing one or another of the gowns under consideration, her mother would nibble a sandwich and sip ice tea between such comments as "A lovely neckline" or "That detail is pretty." One outfit prompted Lady Bird to exclaim: "That's an elegant dress-the kind you would hand down to your grandchildren." And that was the one Luci selected. The design (an exclusive from Dallas' Neiman-Marcus) will be kept top secret, Luci fervently hopes, until high...
...estimated billion dollars a year is going into such specialty foods, and virtually every self-educated epicure in the country today has his favorite Delikatessen, whose virtues he will describe in endless, lip-smacking detail. Dallmayr's, a dim, medieval-style emporium with vaulted arches, displays its caviar and Japanese shrimp on cracked ice (artfully hiding its modern refrigeration equipment), while live carp, perch, pike and rainbow trout swim in ornate marble fountains. Hamburg's 150-year-old L.W.C. Michelsen's offers a scientific index to its 1,000-odd spices, exhibits Australian apricots, French bread baked...

Two weeks after their first encounter, they met to plan her career in minute detail. Now, they share and share alike as equal partners in a company in which Raquel is the chief asset-an asset that Constant Companion Curtis shrewdly manages by camping much of the time at Raquel's 13-room Roman villa...
...still pictures shot through a Gemini window with a hand-held Hasselblad 70-mm. camera showed the rendezvous with the target satellite that Stafford had dubbed the "angry alligator." There was such clarity of detail that NASA experts used the pictures to confirm the reason why the ATDA had failed to shed its heat shroud. The ATDA ground crew had not connected four lanyards that would have assured proper jettisoning. Certain that the lanyards were merely leads for ground-test instruments, the crew had taped them uselessly to the side of the shroud...
