...front of the glassy-floored store, the walls are loaded from top to bottom with tinted makeups, going by such names as Midnight Blush, Ginger Interlude, and seduction Night Sienna. The Timex and Bulova displays are cruelly juxtaposed on another counter, just across, to remind you that you are old, or will be soon, and will be in want of makeup. Back at the makeup counter, you shrink under the sullen gaze of the desperately nubile females trapped in their placards.

Donoratico is a village on the Mediterranean about 140 miles north of Rome. Inland lies the delectable countryside of Tuscany, with its crumbling towers and its long avenues of shady cypresses leading to sienna-brown farmhouses.

It is this bravado with color that has often led him to be viewed as a kind of American Matisse...

The Jeff Beck Group now quickly marches in, Mick Waller at the drums, Jeff Beck prophetically brandishing his guitar. The singer Rod Stewart in burnt sienna flush velours pants that fit tight, an ornate silver cross hanging from his neck, has slender features and a bouffant hair-do and an impish grin. Ron Wood, on bass guitar, stakes out his area and the music flares like a newly struck match. Stewart sings "Rock me baby/Keep-on-rocking-me-baby/ Rock...
