...villa is as dark as a cave, and is an idle mixture of Louis XV, Louis XVI, Chinese and Magyar decorative styles. Plumbing is in the classic French tradition: huge tiled arenas with a tangled network of pipes and valves from which issue alarming gurgles and lukewarm, pale-beige water. The main attraction of the house is its distance from the crowded resorts at Cannes and Juan-les-Pins and its proximity to the swimming, sunning and water skiing at the Riviera's chic Eden Roc beach...
...architect of her own literary monument, Katherine Anne Porter is the most sparing of designers. The graceful, towering spire of her reputation, unwavering after three decades, rests on three volumes containing but 22 long and short stories-Flowering Judas (1930), Pale Horse, Pale Rider (1939), The Leaning Tower (1944).

Yes, Comrade Voyager. Take it, Comrade Voyager...
...Commonwealth ties, and historic insularity. But as the Six's tariff walls have precipitously tumbled within and the Common Mar ket's economy boomed, Britain has felt increasingly envious-and isolated. Britain's hastily assembled European Free Trade Association of the Outer Seven proved pale competition for the spurting Six; E.F.T.A. partners Denmark and Sweden are restive and dissatisfied. In Parliament, press and pub, Britons were debating the far-reaching issues that the Common Market poses...
