...more item to Heiress-Artist Gloria Vanderbilt's list of keep-busy projects. After trying her touch at painting, fabric design and collages in recent years, Gloria, 51, now hopes to market some of her artistic know-how in a new magazine. The quarterly, which is modestly called Gloria Vanderbilt Designs for Your Home, promises to supply how-to tips in painting, crochet, needlepoint, embroidery, quilting, knitting, rug making, sewing and other skills for ambitious homemakers. All of which may help even Creative Director Vanderbilt to pick up a new stitch or two. "I haven't a clue...

Restaurants and boutiques spring up around collection and collector: the Florence Nightingale Tearoom, the Oscar Wilde Way Out. Spectators come to gawk at the thinker, not the thought; finally even the erotic kinks are removed by relentless commercial vulgarity...
Secretary of the Treasury William Simon's tasteless joke about selling New York City to the Shah of Iran can be charged to his Wall Street background. But Gotham is no item on the commodity market. You cannot barter the vision of Washington at the Treasury Building or at Fraunces Tavern. There can be no dollar value on the pride one feels passing the site on Grove Street, where Tom Paine spent his last days, or at the site of Stats Huys, where Peter Stuyvesant read the mandate making New Amsterdam a haven for all people for all time...
