Mitzie Epstein was just 19 when she quit fashion-design school in 1924, gave up her chance for a career and married Samuel Irving Newhouse, the hustling, 28-year-old publisher of the Staten Island (N.Y.) daily Advance. Last month, when Sam Newhouse went looking for the proper gift for their 35th wedding anniversary, he had a good basis to go on-Mitzie, a delicate wisp of a woman (5 ft., 76 Ibs.) who likes to wear originals by Dior and Givenchy, still has a high interest in high fashion. Last week Sam came home with just the right present...
...Same Fashion, Same Formula. To land Mitzie her prize present, Sam ("Mr. S.I.") Newhouse operated in the same forthright fashion that he has used for four decades to collect an unusual group of 14 newspapers and five TV and radio stations. Just a fortnight ago, Newhouse heard that Condé Nast President and Publisher Iva Sergei ("Pat") Voidato-Patcévitch, 58, was willing to sell his option to buy controlling interest in the company, which he got last fall from Britain's Amalgamated Press.

And it is to this point of origin that Amadeus struggles to find his way-to be reborn in the idea of the Nativity itself and to stand, with...
...gradually, with the nagging suspense of a husband discovering a wife's infidelity from scattered clues, the reader realizes that Joan is not what she seems to be. She is, in fact, glibly promiscuous, invulnerable in her amorality. After a fashion, she has a code, and as she spells out its principles the reader will recognize in them the authentic touch of countless other Joans: any mistake is instantly righted if only one admits having made it; promiscuity is permissible if only it is covered with the illusion of being in love. In short, Joan is "a girl...
