...need of an adequate and permanent home in which to display the increasing number of diverse, sophisticated and sometimes monumental creations of the country's craftsmen and -women. This week the roving comes to an end when the museum, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, opens its sleek and spacious new quarters across the street from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City...
...excess of whimsy by the owners. The place is within a mile of the down-at-the-heels section of town where the Kings began their odyssey. It has an eccentric charm appropriate to the tenants: one cupola is conical, the other square. Tabitha, 37, works in a spacious front room of the main house; there she has written three published novels. Each book explored a different genre.

A tiny hospital will be wedged in and maybe even a meeting room for the First Lady. Upstairs will be communications gear and crew quarters...
Even though some 1,900 people, most of them black, have been killed since the current unrest began in September 1984, the lives of South Africa's 5 million whites have changed relatively little--at least on the surface. Most of them still live in big houses with spacious grounds, universally protected by solid walls, which, they like to explain to visitors, are for enclosing children and dogs. Even whites of fairly modest income have a life-style that would be out of the reach of well-to-do professionals in the U.S. or Western Europe. In today's depressed...
