Behind the scenes, a gentle family tug of war seems to be under way. "Just plain Jimmy" is not fond of black-tie dress for those nighttime parties, let alone the white-tie-and-tails costuming of inaugural balls. But Wife Rosalynn, out of understandable sentiment, is apparently determined to wear the same blue satin gown she wore on the evening of her husband's inauguration as Governor of Georgia in 1971. That would mean Jimmy would have to dress up too. Intimates are betting that Rosalynn will...
...departure? A. The absence of one man will not do major harm. But I will say for Henry, he is the first Secretary of State with whom I dealt-and I've dealt with four-who changed the image of America for the better. He was not fond of the big stick like Dulles, weak like Rusk or naive like Rogers.

Pucker-Safrai is fond of this Spanish-born artist; he has had 5 shows here over the past 6 years. The two series presently on exhibit, "Folklore" and "Circus," justify the gallery's committment; Kieff proves himself a master of polished bronze. The "Folklore" works, like tales, sweep through time and space. Symbolic continuums of metal, they demand time to trace their complex curves and planes, yet unify their motion in abstract patterns which seem as natural, yet are as carefully structured, as plot elements in a folk tale (three brothers, wicked step-mothers). "Ciecus" is more subtly rooted...
