With his second wife, Gwyn, whom he married in 1943, Steinbeck went in for Manhattan town houses, and New York literati like John O'Hara and Nathaniel Benchley were favorite guests. As he approached 50, Steinbeck and his third wife, Elaine, moved to Sag Harbor, a resort and fishing village on the eastern end of Long Island. All along, his life was like a badly made play; none of the people or places quite seemed to fit the man, any more than did the costume he sometimes affected: black cape, cane and broad-brimmed...
...reflexive viciousness of the drug trade came into stark relief last month with the case of Nathaniel Sweeper, a suspected drug-gang enforcer who was accused of shooting another man to death on a Harlem street corner. The chief witness against Sweeper was a drug addict named Bobby Edmonds. Police and prosecutors succeeded in keeping his identity secret until the trial began. At that point, the judge disclosed Edmonds' name and address to the defense. Within seven hours Edmonds was found dead, with two bullets in the back of his head...
...trait: originality. Their art, generously displayed in American Folk Art of the Twentieth Century (Rizzoli; 342 pages; $45) shows astonishing visual power and aesthetic range. Eddie Arning, for example, who spent more than 60 years in a Texas mental institution, contributes eerie, compelling images that resemble Egyptian friezes.

...wonderful environment; the kids give him enormous amounts of attention," says Lowell Senior Tutor Christopher M. Jedrey--father of Nathaniel, who is almost three and has never lived outside the House. As in the other Houses, the main point of contact between students and child is the dining hall, which Jedrey and other parents point out is a mixed blessing. Jedrey notes, for example, that the regular conversation with older people has built up his son's vocabulary. Parents add, however, that around the age of two, some children go through a period in which they perform for the dining...
They didn't laugh when he sat down at the Steinway, but then for a change, they weren't supposed to. Last week Dudley Moore, 48, made his Carnegie Hall debut as a full-dress, classical pianist. Joining his friend, Violinist Robert Mann, 62, Cellist Nathaniel Rosen, 36, and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Conductor-Violinist Pinchas Zukerman, 34, Moore offered a sensitive, well-paced performance of Beethoven's Triple Concerto. And he played it straight, until the very end. Then, just before heading offstage for a congratulatory hug from his longtime squeeze...
