...only three characters: Henny (mother), Scooper (son), and Dierdre (bibliophile cum girlfriend). 83 and blind, Henny, has battled breast cancer for two years without anybody catching on--hence bosoms and neglect. Scooper, never too lucky with the girls, was about to run off to Haiti with his best friend's wife when Mom's illness was uncovered. He met Dierdre through their common analyst, Dr. James. In her apartment, while Henny's on the operating table, they spill out their tribulations and prayers. Their idiocyncrasies, it seems, know no bounds; as well as Dr. James, they share an unquenchable thirst...
...Base for what an Administration spokesman called "a period of recuperation under medical supervision." The White House, which had worked out the details of the transfer Saturday night, said that it would continue to assist the Shah in finding a permanent residence. He had very few choices.

That presumably includes the tanker and the London flat that Christina Onassis, 29, Greek shipping heiress and stepdaughter of Jacqueline Onassis, has turned over to her estranged third husband, former Soviet Maritime Executive Sergei Kauzov, by way of closing the books on an unhappy 15-month marriage. She hated their Moscow apartment even though Kauzov, as a worker and husband of a notable foreign person, was allowed more space than most Muscovites. He was discomfited by her idle pleasures, including those lazy, sunny lunches on Skorpios...
...Louise baked a few cookies as a favor to a storeowner friend who sold the whole batch within two days. That gave Sid an idea. Operating out of one kitchen, Sid, Louise, Jeff and David started Grandma's and began to sell their wares to small shop owners in the area. Within two years they were selling cookies to stores throughout the country. Now the Vermont business employs a staff of five, and has a $200,000 volume of business...
