...Tristan islanders, who have only seven family names, are descended from a handful of British, U.S., Dutch and Italian adventurers, mostly shipwrecked sailors. In 1827, wives were found for the island's bachelors by importing five colored women from equally tiny St. Helena, 1,600 miles away...
...Roslyn. L.I., Ceezee and her husband are relaxing with the ease that the totally confident permit themselves. There are picnics by the pool with her friends, or the friends of her two stepsons, Winston Jr., 26, and Frederick, 24, by Winston's first marriage to Woolworth Heiress Helena McCann.

By so consistently finding each other tranparently...

Some critics have called her a "lyric expressionist," others an "abstract landscapist"; perhaps she is both and more. "With present techniques, an architect can build whatever he wants to," she says. "Why shouldn't I be able to build what I like in a painting?" Painter Vieira da Silva builds intricate constructions that never say, but only hint at what they...
