They are not the only ones who find such traditions oppressive. First classmen are beginning to call many of V.M.I.'s rules "Mickey Mouse"-an odd appraisal from young sons of the school attended by George Catlett Marshall and four generations of Pattons...
...elegantly Edwardian style has long been a Manhattan happening, and he lives, and grandly entertains, in one of the city's last great houses. From the felicitously festooned walls of his century-old mansion on Gramercy Park, Sonnenberg selected 64 portrait drawings of the past 150-odd years for an exhibition that opened last week at the Pierpont Morgan Library. The show includes a Van Gogh, two Modiglianis and a Saul Steinberg (of Sonnenberg). A rich potpourri of New York, N.Y., turned out for the opening-literary, artistic, social-a p.r. man's dream. One well-known mustached...

The mouth turns down naturally, and that, along with his pointed jaw, could make him seem mean, but he never lets it happen. Humphrey laughs uproariously and shows his visitors a little plaque that says TO HELL WITH DO-GOODERS. He savors a man of light heart...
