...flat broke," she told a Los Angeles court. It was a little hard to believe coming from the woman who dined ecstatically off solid-gold plates during her heyday. Just the same, Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler Mandl Markey Loder Stauffer Lee Boies, better known as Hedy Lamarr, 50, insists that it is true. And so she is asking $3,510 temporary monthly alimony in a divorce suit she has filed against her sixth husband, Los Angeles Attorney Lewis W. Boies Jr., 44. Her daughter, Denise Hedy Lee, 20, hopes for a different kind of life. A sophomore at the University...
Necessary Mystery. When the U.S. team of architects, M.I.T.-trained Armand Bartos and Viennese-born Frederick Kiesler were approached by the Israeli government and asked to build a shrine for the scrolls, they knew that a boxlike building could fulfill the function. But they were struck by the historic coincidence in 1947 of the discovery of the 2,000-year-old scrolls in the Essene-sect caves with the re-emergence of the state of Israel.

Below the sanctuary is a crypt of rubbly red rock, lined with relics that reveal the life of the 2nd century Jewish rebels who fought the Romans from their caves. Emerging from the sanctuary, the visitor travels along a 150-ft.-long roofless corridor...
...stretch of sea, sand and shore towns, the Hamptons have attracted artists ever since the 1870s, when Winslow Homer went there to paint impressionistic oils of ladies dipping their toes in the surf. Last week the art colony was at its midseason busiest. The oldest colonial, visionary Architect Frederick Kiesler, 67, was at work on a 46-ft. sculpture despite a recent heart attack. Sculptor Costantino Nivola, 53, a swarthy Sardinian who likes to cast concrete abstracts in a huge sand pit on his 40-acre property, was busy making a small sculpture of Kiesler...
