...marriage to Nichols has changed some of that; they are planning to redecorate their brownstone on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and they have a house in Connecticut and a ranch in California. Sawyer is even getting involved in cooking. "She does it the way she does everything," says Nichols. "She cuts out 35 different versions of the recipe. We do it together.

On a balmy spring evening, lightweight tables and chairs are set out under a mesquite tree, just as they would be in an African hunting camp in the shadow of Kilimanjaro. Marge, a silver-haired Texas beauty dressed for the bush in denim and turquoise, lays on a simple feast of guacamole and chicken- salad sandwiches.
