...immediate cause was a perceptible move toward negotiations with Israel. In indirect contacts in New York and London, both sides spelled out in more detail than ever before their terms for a settlement. Israel offered to with draw from most of the occupied territory and to give Hussein custody of Jerusalem's Moslem shrine. The sticking point remained Jerusalem itself. Israel insists on retaining the Old City, while Hussein demands its return, as well as repatriation of Arab refugees...

Chinese porcelain was admired for its curvilinear grace, and mantelpieces and niches were filled with delicious Meissen and Chantilly imitations of Chinese styles. One of the most striking objects in the Wickes collection is the great black Chinese chest that London craftsmen lovingly set on legs of gilded wood. When the stateliness of the baroque era gave way to the studied insouciance of the court of Louis XV, chests took on a kind of portly gentility, as witness the gilt-trimmed rococo commode in Wickes' salon...
