...trim, cozy and inordinately sexy import from Germany: stretch pants. Many a girl who did not know a slalom from a sitzmark has discovered that stretch pants round out her personality in a fetching manner and make a skiing weekend an opportunity rather than an ordeal; men linger on the trails to see rather than ski as the girls in the stretch pants schuss by. Says one spectator sportsman: "The development of stretch pants is really more important than the discovery...
First to recognize this was personable Benjamin Strong (Princeton, class of '19), since 1947 the bank's president and then chairman. He had livened things by actively seeking new clients, e.g. advertising on the society pages. Strong cast aside the tradition that U.S. Trust chief officers linger on (one quit at 104). And he reached into the outside banking world to hire as president and his eventual successor tall, handsome Hoyt Ammidon (Yale, '32).

If she has lost anything, it is the powerful, full-throated high notes that once added to her special glory...
...dealer today is less flamboyant, though in his own way no less dramatic. The dean of all dealers is the erudite Georges Wildenstein, who has never let the spotlight linger on himself for long. In 1956, the rival M. Knoedler & Co. sued the house of Wildenstein, alleging that someone had been tapping the wires of a Knoedler scout. Eventually the whole matter was dropped, and Wildenstein himself was apparently never involved. He would hardly need to use such tactics, for the one irreplaceable asset of his house is himself. A scholar in his own right, Wildenstein not only possesses...
