Mainbocher is also the great loner. He disregards the feverish pitch of the Paris houses and shows his collections at his own dignified pace (his butler serves ice water instead of champagne). Last week two audiences-one of society women and one of fashion pros, both as carefully hand-picked as the members of a royal wedding-were admitted to the off-white salon on Fifth Avenue, sat reverently on couches and little blue chairs to watch six mannequins parade in 150 designs while the aging master explained them in a well-modulated whisper...
...Grant had noted, as has many another TV sports fan, that athletic trainers seem to get good results with a cooling ethyl chloride spray. And he knew about applying hot-water bottles filled with ice cubes. But if a little cold is good, Dr. Grant reasoned, deeper chilling might somehow ease the pain and help the accident patient get his muscles and joints working sooner.

Egbert is rapidly diversifying Studebaker into nonauto lines, from chemicals to ice cream cabinets.

But it rained that day, and the President moved the affair into the State Dining Room...
Strictly speaking, A Kind of Magic begins in 1938 and covers the years of Saratoga Trunk, Giant and Ice Palace. But Author Ferber roams as far back as her days as a $3-a-week cub reporter with the Appleton, Wis., Crescent. Never married, she has had an exuberant, lifelong love affair with "this fantastically rich and spectacular, this gorgeously electric and vital country." Bridgeport and Ashtabula interest her as much as Berlin and Athens, and in a few incisive words she can draw an ineradicable image of a city or a country. "Gray, shrouded, crumbling" Galveston reminds...
