...Partial color blindness, a genetic defect that affects over 8,000,000 Americans, is an incurable affliction. But for those who suffer from the most common form of the disease-the inability to distinguish between reds and greens-a Waltham, Mass., optometrist named Harry Zeltzer now offers some relief. He has found that a red contact lens, designed to be worn on only one eye, improves color discrimination. Zeltzer and other optometrists have prescribed the new lens for some 50 men, most of whom report that they can now distinguish colors they have never before seen...
...Lake, Wis., for $115,000. For a bit more, the Bahamas' entire Whale Cay, complete with mansion and matching village can be acquired: 650 acres, 20 minutes by plane from downtown Nassau, seven white-sand beaches, and all priced to sell at $3,500,000. Is the purchaser partial to antiques? He can live in one (when he is not in his Breuer building). A restored castle near the Loire is a franc bargain...
...even Imperial Rome. The "mainstream" ran through New York. And it seemed by mid-decade that virtually everyone with something to invest was blundering about in its turbid flood like a shark, snapping up artworks. The culmination of this process was "Henry's show," a huge and partial exhibition called "New York Painting and Sculpture: 1940-1970" that Henry Geldzahler organized at the Metropolitan. If ever an exhibition broke the back of a decade, it was this one. It declared the union of new art, capital and official power to be indissoluble, and crystallized the dissatisfactions that many artists...
...four years of Nixon has taken its toll and fewer people are eating out for $18 to $20 per person. The recent 7:30 p.m. show time cut into the number of before theater diners, inflation pushed up the cost of food, and employees, as evidenced by the current partial restaurant workers' strike in New York, began to demand a decent wage. As some of Restaurant Associates' name restaurants started to lose money, they looked to Boston to boost their sagging fortunes. They built a multimillion dollar restaurant using Mama Leone's good name while conducing a massive advertising campaign...
...settle on a site for the multi-nation "guarantee conference" that is supposed to convene within 30 days to deal with the larger problems of peace in Viet Nam and presumably the rest of Indochina as well. Paris is questionable as a site because Saigon feels that France is partial to the North Vietnamese; Geneva is out, since Hanoi has bitter memories of the city that stem from the 1954 and 1962 conferences. Among the other possibilities: Copenhagen, Vienna, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or a Swiss city other than Geneva. The North Vietnamese are also eager to discuss the U.S. plan...
