...adoring fans agree. The few among them who pay $900 to attend one of her quarterly seminars -- waiting time is about a year -- feel fortunate to get an up-close look at glamorous country chic. For three days participants study the Stewart style, committing to memory her 1805 farmhouse, its 19th century English and American antiques, almost six acres of gardens with 15 varieties of lettuce, and barn with Araucana chickens that lay blue eggs. Heady stuff, but Stewart makes her guests feel at home in it. Says Michigan housewife Lynda Byer: "I worried that she'd be a little...
...believe it, watch the big man in the Boer War trench coat. He feels a little out of place in the snazzy Royalton lobby because everybody else there is 44-going-on-22, wearing University of Sofia sweat shirts and $1,250 gazelle-skin bomber jackets. He thinks he would feel less conspicuous sitting down, but that is not nearly so simple as it sounds.

"This is going to be the worst situation any Greek Prime Minister has inherited since the end of World War II," says Mitsotakis, noting that his most difficult problem will be to "restore the economy, which is in total disarray." Most observers, though, feel that Greece is fed up with overbearing political parties and personalities on both right and left, and may be headed for what is being called the "Italianization" of Greek politics, a period of coalition governments...
Many cyclists insist the decision to wear a helmet is a matter of personal freedom. "A motorcyclist should be able to feel the wind through his hair if that's what he wants," says Wayne Thomas of the California Motorcyclists Association. But the price of such freedom can be high not only for the individual cyclist but for society at large. A study of 105 bike-accident victims hospitalized in Seattle during 1985 found that of the $2.7 million they incurred in medical bills, 63% was paid for out of public funds.
