Artists Stanley Landsman and Roy Lichtenstein are also devotees of the period. Landsman collects slender "green-ies," a kind of metal figurine usually portraying a modish nymphet in an affected pose, which were popular as a decoration atop the family radio console.

Last week Senior Partner Eugene Wyman himself squired Sanders to lunch at The Bistro, a modish Beverly Hills restaurant. They had hardly looked at the menu when some of Wyman-Ku-chel's more or less celebrated clients just happened to stop by the table for a drink.
