Back in the U.S., TIME Correspondents James Wilde and Janice Simpson and Reporter-Researcher Georgia Harbison prowled the studios and salons of Manhattans fashion world. For his look at the way models live, Wilde went roller-discoing with Supermodel Apollonia, brunched with British Model Rachel Ward at the Plaza Hotel's Palm Court and interviewed Louise Roberts, who every week combs through as many as 200 applicants to the Eileen Ford agency to come up with one or two who might have a modeling future. "Normally I work the streets," Wilde says. "This job was like being let loose...

Last month None such's guiding spirit, Teresa Sterne, was dismissed...
...tension of an operatic first night with the ambience of a celebrity party. A top auctioneer has the talents of a croupier, a fight promoter and a matinee idol. As SPB President John Marion, who has wielded the gavel for 18 years, said to TIME'S Georgia Harbison: "A good auctioneer is very much like a good lecturer. Everyone should understand what's going on and be sitting forward in his seat." He added: "Sometimes the atmosphere in the salesroom is absolutely crackling. The eyes of the whole world are on you at an impressionist sale. As much...
