...week bought a modest two-bedroom house for $71,950. Hardly proud of his new domicile, Ragan says dejectedly: "We're just going to have to live in a place we don't really want." In Milwaukee, Jean and Ron Ross have been hoping to sell the duplex unit they have owned since 1972 in order to trade up to a detached house. Even though the value of their home has gone from $30,000 to $75,000, they are no closer to the house of their dreams than they were eight years ago. Says Ross...
...former Green Beret physician told the jury that four drug-crazed intruders had slain his pregnant wife and two daughters in their Fort Bragg, N.C., duplex. But the combination of a blood-soaked pajama top and his vengeful fathher-in-law cast doubt on that story, and last year Jeffrey R. MacDonald, 36, began serving three life terms in a California prison. Now, as a result of a 2-to-l decision last week by a U.S. appeals court in Richmond, MacDonald may become a free man once again.

When not cradling a violin or wielding a tennis racquet, Stern can usually be found holding a telephone or two or three. (He has eleven of them in his Manhattan duplex.)

Members of the Israel Philharmonic like to tease him about the three-minute orchestral introduction in the Beethoven...
...wouldn't want Gloria Vanderbilt, patroness of jeans and scioness of a famous family, for a neighbor? Some of the tenants at River House, one of Manhattan's tonier cooperative apartments, that's who. Last January Vanderbilt put down her deposit on a $ 1.1 million duplex. In April the purchase was vetoed by the co-op's board of directors on the ground that she was a public figure. Vanderbilt found that argument specious, since Henry Kissinger and Broadway Producer-Director Joshua Logan already live in River House. She has gone to court, charging that...
...crisp, fresh, lavender dress, is sitting in her small, neat-as-a-pin duplex. "Something about the in-kind program came with the tax notice. I hadn't worked since I had been in the wheelchair, but I knew I could." Iva is dark-haired, feisty and determined. She went to city hall, hired on as a tax division clerk, particularly to process parking tickets. When Hargreaves offered to have her picked up and returned home each day, Iva rebelled: "I'll take care of myself." An independent Vermont Yankee, she drives...
