...baby shower held three weeks ago, a group of Adams House students gave the Bessires a baby jogger, and the House Committee gave Blakey a silver engraved baby rattle...
...care that among the Windsor-family items being put up on the block are a pair of silver asparagus tongs, two Portuguese silver Fu dogs and a silver vesta case for, I suppose, one's silver vesta. I don't care either, but I do think there is something crummy about the blithe auctioning off of things like love letters, diaries and personal photos. The Windsors always seemed a pair of yacht-hopping nitwits to me, and I'm fairly certain that their expressions of passion are not to be compared to Keats', much less to Jesus'. But they were...

Despite their relatively brief partnership, they have already won the Russian ice-dancing title and collected two silver medals at the world championships. This week they hope to glide ahead of the favorites. So fierce is the rivalry that at last month's European championships in Milan, the two pairs engaged in a game of intimidation during the warm-ups, whipping by each other so closely that costumes were torn by flashing skate blades...
