...miss it at all," he says. "It was twelve years of awfully hard work and I got my rewards." One of the rewards−Spitz has signed advertising contracts worth an estimated $5,000,000−is a $65,000, 39-ft. citron-yellow Ericson motor sailer, which he bought to celebrate his engagement to Susan Weiner, 21, a sometime model and the daughter of a Los Angeles steel executive. "The whole world knows I am getting married on May 6," Spitz boasted, but was uncharacteristically modest about his career in show biz. "I have to be cautious. There...

This was impossible, for they are antiques on loan from collector John Sailer of Vienna and many museums. Katayama felt the need to solve this seemingly peripheral problem, which is crucial in terms of total space. He placed modern reproductions of the chairs along a wall of the room. Sitting in one of these chairs, a visitor ends his tour with a feeling for the interaction of Thonet, Katayama, and Le Corbusier.TOSHIRO KATAYAMA, graphic designer for the Visual Arts Center, designed...
American Aid. The Ivory Coast is solidly tied into France's African sphere of influence. Still, Houphouet-Boigny decided early this year on a greater display of self-sufficiency. Replacing Sailer as the Ivory Coast's top moneymen are two Africans. Mohamed Diawara, 35, a University of Paris mathematics graduate, is in charge of le Plan. And presiding as Minister of Finance and Economics is Konan Bédié, 32, a Baoule tribesman with an economics degree from France's University of Poitiers...
