...much is that divine Dufy?" queries a lady sipping white wine slowly from a clear plastic cup. The painting in question is Raoul Dufy's "Le Palmier, Pension Sevigne" and the price high in the thousands. There are half-laughs in the lady's party, and they move on to "a more affordable fantasy," a $2,700 Binet. As you walk away toward Copley Square, the gallery looks like a three dimensional version of one of its pictures. There is the same dichotomy between the warm, brightly lit, glass-walled room and you (heading in the falling-dark...
Traditional Break. With Ray back in a cell, Stokes admitted, "There now appears to be no evidence of outside conspiratorial help." Ray has already talked to committee investigators for 25½hours. Stokes had said he wanted to put him on the stand to question him about Raoul, the mystery man in the prisoner's story (and perhaps imagination) who, Ray has claimed, drew him into the King assassination plot. But such a scene, with Ray on camera and all the conspiracy buffs waiting for remarks to support their theories, is "way down the line," said Stokes...

They base that theory-a matter of pure conjecture-on the sequence of Ray's various mentions of both Raoul and his brother in these accounts. They also note that Jerry much later became...
...attractions are obvious. Though European experts give Rumanian medical training high marks, admission requirements for Americans are relatively lenient. Until this year, when the Rumanians began demanding at least two years of preparatory college. Americans were accepted directly out of secondary school. It was this lure that attracted Raoul Mendelovice at age 17-immediately after his graduation from New York City's highly regarded Bronx High School of Science with an impressive 97% average. Now in his second year of the six-year Rumanian medical program, Mendelovice notes that he will be finishing up just when his friends back...
