...remodeled into a fine small museum, installed a small part of his 4,000-work collection of masters. Then he startled easygoing Cape Codders by decreeing black tie the style at his lavish parties.* He sparked the move to stage a nationwide art festival, smooth-talked some 300 year-round residents into contributing their time and effort free "for the good of Provincetown." He acts as second ticket-taker at his museum (and makes the volunteer workers pay the going $1.50 for the catalogue), while his wife Jean handles lunch-relief shifts at the festival gates. Some Provincetowners have found...
...Helen Sobel, 48, have copped just about every top bridge trophy at one time or another. Back in 1942 they took the Life Masters cup, but it has eluded them ever since. Last week, despite a brisk start, they lagged in ninth place at the end of the third round (each round consists of 26 deals). On the fourth and final round, they encountered this deal (North-South vulnerable...
...Palmer is a streak player ("It seems I was always blowing up just when I thought my game was under control''). Both he and Venturi are subject to long sieges of putting miseries.

As Government bond prices fell, shoestring speculators were forced to dump their holdings, driving down prices more. One new Treasury issue, the 2⅝% bonds, fell to 95.16 last week, despite the Treasury's unusual step, in July, of buying back nearly $600 million of the issue. An even sharper skid hit the 3¼% issue: it dropped...
...townsfolk of Carvel turn on Andrew Hardy and circulate a petition to rezone the land to "keep Carvel just as it is." Despondent, sure to lose his job, Andy chokes up a sopping little farewell speech before a packed crowd at the city council meeting, then slopes off round-shouldered to pack his bags. Rooney fans who have to ask what happens next should be charged double admission. When it's over, instead of flashing the usual THE END on the screen, the film's producers own up to the obvious: TO BE CONTINUED...
