...which he is a good bridge player, shooting about 100. Now and then he sallies out of his modest Manhattan apartment to play some nonbusiness but highly serious bridge with the experts who hang out at Manhattan's Cavendish and Regency clubs. When he plays bridge with nonexpert celebrities, as he often does, Goren is perhaps the world's most tolerant partner, never criticizes even the sloppiest bidding...
Less evident to a nonexpert eye is a difference that will save taxpayers many a dollar. Until recently, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing printed all U.S. currency on flat-bed presses, using moistened paper, a process that took 15 days.

Said Florence's aged (89) art oracle, Expatriate Bernard Berenson: "The best collection of Chinese bronzes ever brought together under one roof in Europe...
...think," said Mrs. Guest, "that I was out charring only this morning." To Lilian Guest, the money was no more than proper pay for an expert; twice before she had won more than $500 by a special system of picking the teams. But in Bournemouth next day, a nonexpert got equally good results by "just picking them at random." On a bet of $1.50, ex-Teacher Ernest Albert Lumsden, 71, also...
