...arouse no curiosity. Kennedy says only that he instructed them "not to alarm Mary Jo's friends." As it is, the suspicion is bound to linger that the only reason the two men did not call the police is that they were afraid that Kennedy was in no shape to undergo breath or other tests for alcohol. Thus, they might have chosen to risk the lesser charge of leaving the scene of an accident over the graver charges that might have arisen from drunken driving. It is, of course, possible that the two men were simply being inept. Whatever...
Somewhat surprised that he does not even sketch from life any longer, Diebenkorn is still searching in his painting for that perfect balance of freedom and license. He explains, "Somehow, if you can put a shape, a space, a color anywhere, that's not good.

...running down the side of policy papers. Every executive involved must put his "chop" (mark) in a box, signifying his agreement, before any decision can be moved along.

EVEN as man prepared to take his first tentative extraterrestrial steps, other celestial adventures beckoned him.

Given the same energy and dedication that took them to the moon, says Wernher von Braun, Americans could land on Mars as early...
...make one handbag. Shoes and other leather goods are made from the hides of Tuscan cattle that are not allowed to leave their stalls at all lest they be scratched. The Guccis' staff of 185 workers, helped by peasants who work for Gucci in their homes around Florence, shape and sew as many as 7,000 pairs of shoes each month, plus pigskin bags made of 130 separate pieces. "There is not much that you can teach a Florentine about merchandising or craftsmanship," says Aldo Gucci...
