Baker and his wife Mimi rent three floors of a four-story brownstone ("a dilapidation," they call it) on Manhattan's East Side. But the Bakers' beloved sheltering place is a gray shingle and white clapboard summer house on Massachusetts' Nantucket Island. It was built by a whaling captain in 1835, at the height of the island's seafaring prosperity. Its present owners seem comfortable there, and with each other. Tall, handsome and merry of heart, Mimi is a good conversational match for Baker, and people who know the pair well tend to say "they" when talking of them, rather...
...disease evokes images of pale, suffering poets like Keats and Shelley or wanly beautiful heroines like La Boheme 's Mimi and Camille wasting away in the arms of their lovers. Indeed, during the 19th century, tuberculosis-or consumption, as it was then called-exacted a horrifying toll; up to 20% of the population in Western countries died of it before the age of 50. But by 1882, when the German bacteriologist Robert Koch demystified the disease by identifying the tiny rod-shaped tubercle bacillus that caused it, the tide was turning...
...Mimi Sheraton, 53, the New York Times's remorseless food critic, and Frank Prial, 48, who writes about wine for the paper, deduced that Otto's place would most likely be fairly near McPhee's home in Princeton, N.J.

However, the legendary...
...auditorium might reasonably be taken as a sign that the awareness industry is at last showing its real self. The occasion was contrived by Jerry Rubin, the reformed Yippie who has decided at 40 that his calling is consciousness. The program, whose co-impresario is Rubin's wife Mimi Leonard, offers to those willing to shell out $32 to $60 per ticket not merely the galaxy of stars (Dick Gregory and Buckminster Fuller too) but the promise that all participants will learn, during the 14½-hour much-ado, "everything you will ever need to know about...
...first hearing of Love to Love You Baby are not a matter of public record. But snapshots of Mom and Dad enclosed in a heart-shaped frame peer out of every copy of the Summer concert program, surrounded by pictures of Donna's daughter Mimi, 5. Three other Gaines daughters have followed their sister down the show biz path, and they sing back-up vocals for Donna...
