Family Reunion. He was something of a character himself. To his children, N.C. seemed "a combination of Paul Bunyan and Santa Claus"; to keep that illusion alive, he would risk his neck each Christmas Eve to stomp noisily atop the icy roof of their house. To his neighbors near Chadds Ford, Pa. -where N.C. had settled in 1903 to study under another great illustrator, Howard Pyle-and in Maine, where he subsequently summered, Wyeth was a big-hearted man, equally at home with farmers and fishermen...
...quite a party on Central Park Mall when New York City turned out for the season's first Guggenheim Memorial Concert. The band tooted out such swinging numbers as The New York Light Guards Quickstep and The New York Hippodrome March for the turn-of-the-century stomp.

They are already TV veterans, are now shooting their first...
...saying "New Yorkers, go home." Even more direct -and effective-is the practice of splitting up pairs of skis, placing them hundreds of feet apart. Sometimes husbands and wives will leave a his-her pair on one side of the lodge, their mates mated off on the other, and stomp off to have a carefree lunch. But even that is not infallible. Recently a racer at Squaw Valley stashed his Head Competitor skis in widely separated locations, only to find when he returned that they had been replaced with a matching pair of gouged wooden ones...
