...Parisian jewelers Van Cleef & Arpels, Inc., who with his brother Louis took over the business from his father, set up a New York branch in 1940 that outpaced Paris headquarters, expanded to Palm Beach and Caracas marketing such wares as Napoleon's emeralds and a 34.6-carat pink Indian diamond but never, never talking about who bought what or for how much; of a stroke; in Manhattan...
...Pink Panther. "We must find that woman," declares Peter Sellers. For emphasis, he briskly spins a large globe, then absentmindedly leans on it to be sent spinning to the floor.

...marriage of abstract and realistic techniques. He achieves what he calls "an ambiguity between a realistic shape and a painting shape." In The Kittiwake and the John Walton, a Maine seascape of two boats, a hull and its shadow are equal pale blues that bobble on a pink sea. It is reality, but a reality that tells how light behaves at sunset and how the artist transforms it into a lustrous image lacking any intimations of nostalgia...
