...appreciation, but an understanding of the American spirit, to New York City and the world. In the late '50s and '60s, with his first wife, Ileana Sonnabend, he discovered Rauschenberg, Johns, Stella, Lichtenstein, Bontecou and others. I had joined Bellamy's Green Gallery, but Leo brought visitors to my loft, including the famous collector Count Panza di Biumo. In 1964 I joined the Castelli Gallery and had my first show with Leo in 1965, with my 86-ft. painting F-111. Leo placed young artists' work in good collections and in museums throughout the world, even if he didn...
...Cafe Bleu, says that on some nights as many as 100 twentysomethings--sporting shiny sharkskin suits, pointy Beatles boots and tattoos--line up their bikes in the club lot. But Vespa fanatics include businessmen, middle-aged women and just regular guys. Hairstylist Robert Winslow, 29, moved from a roomy loft in New York City's tony TriBeCa to a dingier but more spacious Brooklyn apartment without a kitchen, strictly to accommodate his vintage bikes. "I'm obsessive," he says. "My place is pretty much a garage." In May, Mike Frankovich, 25, a student and founder of the Hollywood Rat Pack...

Such is the case with "toilet ball," the sport my friends and I recently invented on the grassy lawn of Quincy House. During a trip to the superintendent's office, we discovered that a roll of toilet paper--when punted with a flick of the ankle--has surprising loft and travels far. Wrap the roll in masking tape to prevent the paper from unravelling, and voila--you have a genuine toilet ball, good for about 50 minutes of play before it totally falls apart. Advantages of toilet ball over conventional projectiles: It's soft to catch and can't possibly...
Further proof that Penthouse is not a family publication: last week publisher BOB GUCCIONE took steps to evict his son and former employee Anthony from the apartment in which he'd been living since 1987. Anthony, who worked for Penthouse's parent company until 1997, claims his Manhattan loft was a gift from his father for graduating from Harvard and joining the family business. But a judge backed Guccione the elder, saying the apartment's stock certificate had never been transferred to Anthony and he had no legal claim to it. Looks as if Guccione pere, who is also estranged...
