...overlap of responsibilities between private and public agencies has meant no peace and plenty of worries. "It's a clumsy bureaucracy," Adlerstein admits good-naturedly. Most disputes have been small. Burgee, architect of the new Liberty Island plaza, had a recent week long argument with the Park Service over the proper color (his white vs. its gray) of outdoor chairs. After 15 phone calls he surrendered...
...country wedding to the metropolitan bash. "What people are in touch with is real fresh, friendly and simple food--fresh fruits and veggies, healthy foods nicely prepared," says David Christian, sales director for Gaper's Caterers in Chicago. Notes S. Alexander, catering director of New York City's Plaza hotel: "We had a very elegant wedding in June, where cost was no consideration, and we served a poultry item as the main course.

Bidding is highly competitive: the Democrats have...
When Vice President George Bush arrived at the fashionable Amway Grand Plaza Hotel last week, a full police escort flanked his 15-car motorcade, and the cream of Grand Rapids society turned out, checkbooks at the ready. New York Congressman Jack Kemp made a less elaborate entrance: he arrived at the Midway Motor Lodge on the outskirts of town late one night and was lmet the next morning by grass-roots Republican activists with toddlers in tow. Although the next Republican presidential nominee will not be chosen for more than two years, Bush and Kemp find themselves already engaged...
