Since graduating from Brown in 1957, Saltonstall has never stayed in any one job for long. His long resume includes descriptions of his jobs as a trainee in a Betty Crocker cake mix plant in Buffalo, N.Y., and as the president of a Sailboat manufacturing company...

...guests are a mix of experts, worried parents and addicts who have gone straight. Though Nancy has been pursuing this cause for two years, she does not pretend to scientific expertise.

Some 700 athletes and coaches will be supplied 35 mix-and-match garments by Levi Strauss & Co. The warmup suits, titled the "active" ensemble, won out over the "classic" (white slacks or skirts with red blazers) and the "Western" (more cowboy suits). The "active" drew about half of the 2 million votes...
