Somehow, Ethel Kennedy has remained just outside the glare of publicity. She is one member of the family whose every move is not chronicled, whose private life is not public property. According to a recent Gallup poll, Americans regard her as the country's most admired woman.* It is an assessment born of sympathy, not knowledge. The public does not know her today. Perhaps it never did. Since that grim night in Los Angeles ten months ago, she has lived almost entirely in the seclusion of Hickory Hill and Hyannisport, breaking into the news only in December, when she bore...
Other U.N. Plaza residents complain that the glare through the windows hurts their eyes (some have taken to wearing sunglasses indoors), and that their parties are dreadfully dull: the guests all just stand around, staring out. Joyce Susskind gets glassy-eyed when she recalls the day she walked naked from her shower, looked out of her windows-and saw a window washer looking in.

The process commences at dawn, continues until dark and turns the once pristine ice into an ugly palette of dirtied snow, crimson blood sprays and grotesquely skinned carcasses. Watching this month...
Nobody is allowed here who has not already shown talent and promise. Still, it is hard not to be nervous. Autographed portraits of Kreisler, Szigeti, Milstein-all good friends of Galamian's -glare down from the walls. The air seems to tingle with his awesome reputation in the violin world. Isaac Stern calls him "the most effective violin teacher in the country," and he certainly has the alumni to prove it. Most of the brightest young soloists in the U.S. are Galamian products; Itzhak Perlman, Young Uck Kim, Jaime Laredo, Paul Zukofsky and James Oliver Buswell IV. In addition...
