TOLEDO. The Spanish pavilion's posh pad is not for hoi polloi, but it has the best food and service at the fair. An armada of waiters hovers around to keep the diner happy. Though the Toledo specializes in fine French cuisine, it will cheerfully give you the works in Spanish too. Start with an andaluza, follow with gazpacho soup (muy bueno) and fill up on paella.

Holmes's legal family became so popular that it soon grew into a sort of Rhodes scholarship of U.S. law. Clerking for the Supreme Court is now a launching pad for all kinds of later fame -be it heading the State Department (Dean Acheson), running U.S. Steel (Irving Olds), going to jail (Alger Hiss), becoming a leading sociologist (David Riesrnan), or returning as a Supreme Court Justice (Byron White).
