Still ruddy and erect at 80, Herbert Clark Hoover went up from Washington last week to apartment 31A in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria Towers, and packed for a long fishing trip to the California redwood country.

Brubeck built an imposing glass-and-redwood house in Oakland overlooking the bay-a house on a hilltop, which is where he always wanted to live...
