Among Manhattan restaurants, Le Pavilion is Out, the Côte Basque, Colony and Caravelle are In; "21" hasn't been In for years. After the 15th of June, the right thing is to slip over to Venice for a couple of weeks. There, of course, it would be best to have one's own palazzo-President Kennedy's friends, the Charles Wrights-mans, do. Countess Natalie Volpi's pied a terre is a good example of style in Venice. The countess usually spends about a fortnight there in June; then off to Rome and other...
...Bartholomew was sold at Sotheby's fortnight ago for $532,000-fifth highest auction price ever paid for a painting-the buyer was Agnew's, a London art firm.

Since Gilbert presumably bought most of his Celotex stock on margin or had used it as security for loans to buy still more, he stood to see it sold out from under him unless he could raise more collateral. Evidently assuming that he could make restitution when the market rose again, he began writing out checks, and with remarkable ease persuaded other Bruce officers to countersign them...
