Just when he should have been able to sit back and listen to the jingling cash registers, Stanley Marcus, president of Dallas' famed Neiman-Marcus, last week paced a smoke-blackened, rubble-filled office.

But. as Eugenia Lassater recalls, she was "stingy." She still wore Aunt Effie's old coat around campus. But her social life picked up a little.
