Last week's most frenzied bidding was for Warhol's stash of 152 cookie jars, mass-produced pottery from the 1930s and '40s in cutesy animal and cartoon motifs. At one point, two Manhattan businessmen faced off over two cookie jars and a pair of salt and pepper shakers in the form of a black chef and his wife. The final bid: $23,100 for a lot whose value Sotheby's had estimated at $100 to $150. "Spiritually, they are just wonderful," gushed Maria Olivia Judelson, wife of the victor. If so, then Cuban-born Businessman Gedalio Grinberg was truly...

He insists that he plans to deliver his entire can stash to the district IRS office in lower Manhattan. IRS Spokesman Neil O'Keeffe says, "There's no provision for paying taxes with cans." So for all its utility, there is evidently one use to which the can cannot...
...more active life-styles, while bathrooms "have become fortresses" of marble, mirrors and glass. Master-bedroom suites get special attention because working couples spend much of their leisure time in them. There has been a resurgence of "libraries" (home offices to the unredecorated) for dual- income families to stash books, papers, computers and answering machines. Baked ceramic tile is in vogue for every surface from countertops to foyer floors, and the mixing of bleached and raw-wood textures is common. Formica furniture, in startling shapes and bold solids, is a yuppie favorite. As for colors, earth tones -- drab tans, harvest...
