...hair drawn back in a bun, Marguerite has hardly been hostile to the publicity that has come her way since Nov. 22. "I am an important person," she says with obvious relish. "I understand that I will go down in history too." She rents one side of a small duplex house in Fort Worth. It is a clean place, with blistering wallpaper, an ancient TV set, a picture of the Christ Child that stands in one of the bookshelves, a hissing gas heater in one corner. She was at home last week when a reporter went by. "Here," said...
...round vice president involved in sales, promotion, advertising. He married the boss's daughter in 1953 after six years of off-again-on-again courtship. Says Shriver: "She's a hard person to sell-tough as her father." They settled down in a 14-room duplex in Chicago, produced three bright-eyed kids (Robert Sargent III, 9; Maria, 7; and Timothy, 3).

She had Russian-speaking waiters up there passing champagne and beef Stroganoff on sterling silver platters. She had Henry Fonda, Robert Preston. Jerome Robbins, Gene Kelly. She had jazzman Ted Straeter, with a five-piece...
...will. The boss never compliments an editor or reporter?lest silence the next time be construed as censure. Newhouse's name appears on the masthead of only three of the 19 papers. He rarely reads any of them; the only paper delivered daily to his 14-room Park Avenue duplex in Manhattan is one he does not own (but wishes he did): the New York Times. Newhouse papers disagree not only with one another but with the proprietor. Newhouse himself favors integration, but not to the point of rebuking the publisher of his Birmingham, Ala., paper, the News, which...
