...wife Sarolta, 26, were talking over old times with Cellist Pablo Casals, 89, and his dark-haired wife Marta, 24. Under an oak tree Violinists Shmuel Ashkenasi (from Israel) and Charles Avsharian (from the U.S.) were playing a bridge game with Tenor Jon Humphrey (Robert Shaw Chorale soloist) and Horn Player Steve Seiffert (first horn, Buffalo Philharmonic...

While working for Chez de Stape, then Paris' leading fashion jeweler, Lalique began experimenting with enamels, transforming glass with oxides in his own kitchen. In mounting stones, he turned from semiprecious tortoise shell to ordinary horn because he found the color of tortoise too irregular.

Royal Scandal. Nasser was dealt an even sharper blow in the Trucial States,* which lie on the Gulf side of the horn of Arabia.

...huntsmen who cannot find the time to take African safaris, there is the 115-sq. mi. Y.O. Ranch. Owner Charles Schreiner III has stocked it with imported game from all over the world: deer from Japan, aoudad rams from North Africa, antelope from India, Corsican rams and the twisted-horn eland from Africa. Since Texas game laws don't protect these exotic animals, there is no special season. For $25 a day the hunter gets clean but rustic accommodations. The animals cost extra?$275 for each animal killed, but $4,000 for an eland...
