...Wouldn't you be apprehensive if after Sunday your chances of going to you final resting place (Fathers Six) were going to increase three-fold? If this column fails to appear some week in the near future, you will know I haven't just been blown off in the shop, as we say in the news business, which happened last week...
...political scene, in which the center-right and the left-wing opposition were splintered into four competing groups, each trying to explain its quarrels to an increasingly indifferent electorate. As a result, the Frenchman's distrust of politicians deepened. "Left or right," shrugged the owner of a small porcelain shop in Paris' middle-class 18th arrondissement, "it's the same salad."

Vreeland now finds herself above the battle, and just now the modeling business finds itself involved in an entertaining squabble.

The Tiegs family went to Quaker meetings on Sundays. They were healthy and moderately affluent. The girls did well in school, and though Vernette was the more intellectual, Cheryl got good...
...separately. Professional jealousy can erupt between the sharers. Says Courtney Gordon: "You have to be noncompetitive in terms of your job?and have a very strong marriage." Another problem: it is virtually impossible to leave the office behind. The Grubers, for example, agreed initially that there would be no shop talk at meals. But after "a number of silent dinners," they gave in, and have never regretted it. Indeed, says Marjorie Woods, the joint interest in a job "takes away a lot of the pressure and strain. It's always nice to know you're working with a friend...
