George Stewart, 76, an engineer and onetime Congressman, was responsible for the multimillion-dollar fiasco of the Rayburn House Office Building across the street south of the Capitol. Stewart's critics were also furious when he used marble in the east front extension...
While the stock market has been drifting sidewise, another exchange has been moving at a furious pace. At Chicago's Board of Trade, biggest and busiest commodity market in the world, pit brokers have perspired through two weeks of record business. On one day, they traded an alltime-high 270 million bushels of wheat, corn, oats, rye and soybeans-an amount almost three times greater than last year's average.

"I'm just furious at her," fumed Trigère, who had intended the dress to be worn with only a body stocking. Amanda Burden, co-chairman or not, finally decided to take no chances-perhaps in honor of the fact that she has been named the Best Dressed Woman in America. "I do love the new things, but I think my husband [a fledgling lawyer] might object," she said. So she picked...
