...gypsy and former nightclub performer, Thea Ekström is also well known as an artist in her native Sweden, and her works are in the collections of French Prime Minister Georges Pompidou and Painter Jean Dubuffet. This is New York's first chance to inspect her unusual talent. In silverpoint on oil-and-canvas, she draws tiny signs and symbols around the edges of lonely landscapes that are guarded by a pale sun and filled with little animals, intertwining snakes, and under the earth's surface, a strange, subterranean life...
...Saigon last week wore the strained smile of a city denying reality. In the sensual half-light of the busy Tu Do nightclub, a chanteuse belted out "Non, je ne regrette rien," while in the harsh countryside the casualties totaled over 1 ,000 Vietnamese and a score of Americans in one of the worst weeks of the long war against the Viet Cong.

It failed. "The kids around here just won't go to a place where they can't drink," complained the owner. Where do they go? Either to private parties or across the line to New York, where the drinking...
...immediately add A. & P. heir." One plot he brewed to this end was to buy 700 acres of a Bahama isle named Paradise for $14 million and turn it into a play ground hardly anyone could afford. He built a 52-room hotel (rates: up to $135 a day), nightclub, golf course (pro: Gary Player), and tennis courts (pro: Pancho Gonzales), but, says his broker, "You just can't pay for Gonzales and Player with 52 guests." So now Paradise is for sale somewhere this side of $32 million...
