...redo the kitchen to make it a cooking laboratory for Julia. Designed by Paul, whose paintings, wood carvings and metal engravings decorate the rest of the house, it is a gourmet's palace, with everything from a restaurant range and double electric ovens to walls hung with pots, each hook marked by a silhouette so that no pot or pan is ever out of place...
...tenement-dwelling Midwesterner in hock to the corner delicatessen, pursues solvency at the horse parlor and the poker table. His purpose is exemplary: he wants to move his seven-year-old son, dying of epilepsy, to a desert climate. A soft-hearted stud dealer pledges the necessary pot but dies before delivering.

Porcelain prices zoomed as an early Chelsea scolopendrium tea pot sold for $10,640, an increase of 230% in four years. A Toulouse-Lautrec print, La Grande Loge, garnered the highest price yet paid for a modern print: $15,400, more than double its 1959 value. Sotheby's was jammed for the sale, and their suave hammerman, Peter Wilson, who knows everybody in the London art world by sight, said, "I'd never seen half...
