Like Reagan, Sandra O'Connor has spent many of her happiest days on a Western ranch, riding horses and even roping steers. Her parents, Harry and Ada Mae Day, operated a 260-sq.-mi. cattle spread straddling the New Mexico-Arizona border. Called the Lazy B, it had been in the Day family since 1881 -three decades before Arizona became a state. Her grandfather had traveled from Vermont to found it. Sandra, first of the Days' three children, was born in an El Paso hospital because the remote area in which they lived had no medical facilities; their...
Three Orange County housing workers arrived last Tuesday at the home of Tommy and Mae Rose Owens in Winter Park, Fla., a suburb of Orlando, to complete paperwork on the couple's federal loan for home improvement. But the Owenses were not there. Neither were the house and the yard. They had fallen-along with five expensive foreign cars, a truck, a parking lot, part of a four-lane road and much of a municipal swimming pool-into a sinkhole. That geological oddity resulted when underground limestone caverns, which are usually filled and strengthened by water, were gradually drained...

Mae Sibley, a bright-eyed sprite who was the hotel's assistant manager and housemother to the girls, kept close tabs on their comings and goings. A girl needed three good references to be considered for admission, and then was graded by such criteria as family, looks, dress and demeanor...
...bite-size sandwiches were the day's main meal for many strivers. There were musical evenings, a swimming pool and a gym, a library and-not least-two lounges where girls and boys could play Glenn Miller records or backgammon, or subtler games of eye and inflection. Until Mae Sibley arrived at the stroke of 10 p.m. and announced that it was time for the gentlemen to withdraw. Good night, Miss Sibley. Good night, Barbizon...
