London. Mitre Hotel, 28 miles outside London proper, at Hampton Court. Diners are advised to arrive early for an appetite-inducing stroll through the formal gardens of Hampton Court Palace across the street. Two restaurants, lavish wine cellar (stock valued at $125,000). Suggested entree: lobster à l'américaine (sauteed in butter, flamed with brandy and served on a bed of rice with its own lobster sauce). Or Dover sole, poached in cream sauce and Meursault, garnished with baby shrimps. The tab: about...
Life Raft and Oil Slick. He climbed into one of his squadron's 60-ton, $2.3 million airplanes, revved up the engines and started taxiing around. As crew chief, he was authorized to do so.

Dr. Maurice Osborne Jr., past president of the American College Health Association, is perfectly prepared to view the peaceful occupation of a building as "an honest confrontation with intellectual honesty and moral force." But Dr. Osborne, a Tufts administrator whose...
...more than ingenious gadgets. Currently on display at Manhattan's Loeb and Krugier Gallery, they are handsome works of art, rich in double-entendres about the literary and legendary characters that they portray. Berrocal's Cleopatra, for example, is a curvaceous seductress whose voluptuous thighs, when the proper key is turned, open to reveal a red velvet jewel box inside. Her face disassembles into a bracelet that can be removed and worn by the owner. The most dramatic work is one called Alfa and Romeo, which looks like a demure pair of lovers in a hand-to-hand...
