Women artists are acutely aware of the cultural biases that act to impede their careers. Marianna Pineda, a sculptor participating in the gallery's current show and an Institute Fellow from 1962 to 1964, is an established local artist by any standard. She has had three one-woman shows, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts owns two of her pieces. Despite her success she still feels artistic institutions discriminate against women. "Art schools are filled with women," she said, "but most of the instructors are men. Women are taught that art is a lady-like pastime...
...three stars, flew over the day before the banquet burdened with such Gallic specialties as pate de foie gras, truffles, Mediterranean bass and goat cheese. Among the guests: Playwright Lillian Hellman, Couturiere Pauline Trigere, Journalist Sally Quinn, Author Marya Mannes, New York Times Op-Ed Page Editor Charlotte Curtis, Sculptor Louise Nevelson, Former New York City Consumer Affairs Commissioner Bess Myerson, and Boston-based Gastronome Julia Child.

He deliberately rolls a cigarette while answering questions, and his time on the campaign trail for Brandt's socialists has taught him not exactly to dodge difficult questions but to slip almost unnoticeable away from them--like maybe a snail...
Home is a former sculptor's smallish skylighted studio in Greenwich Village, which she shares with her boyfriend of eight years. Bob Williamson, a "freelance stock speculator." Marriage? "Great for taxes, necessary for children, but abominable for romance." Hutton also boycotts the uptown party scene: "I feel foolish in that kind of setup, and I think those people would feel foolish in mine." Lauren and Bob divide household chores because "I've never had a maid and don't want one. If you've got more things than you can take care of yourself...
