...beautiful almond-eyed children rush up to greet him. "Gimmee some Co-ak," shouts 5½-year-old Thienan (nicknamed Firecracker) in a disconcerting Southern drawl. "I speak Vietnamese to him and he answers me in English," says Dr. Bui. Thien Nga, who at 3½ is nearly as tall as her brother, and Jo Ann, 2, both born in the U.S., compete for Bui's attention. The household also includes 14-year-old Loan, Simone's child by her first marriage. Bui's son Tuyen, 17, also from a previous marriage, is at an Arkansas boarding...
Through her front window Mrs. Myers gave the tree fond glances and occasional nice thoughts. The spruce defied wind, rain, ice, insects, disease. It was 30 ft. tall when it happened to catch the eye of some Park Service men who were roaming round the country in search of a "living" Christmas tree to replace the one that was blown over last winter. (Yet another tree died the year before from Washington's heat.) For $1,500 and a place in history, the Myers blue spruce was sent to serve its country, but not without a parting ritual that...

Tall, suave and mustached, he is a French-born Basque who looks and talks (in Gallic-flavored English) like the kind of smoothy who should be running a cosmetics empire. But he started out as an electric power salesman, trained as a manager in the ITT cauldron, and rose to head that conglomerate's European operations, a job that taught him about acquisitions, finance...
...Great Egret, has benefited from conservation, as have other herons in North America, including the Black-crowned Night Heron ("quawk" to baymen), and the Green Heron. The picture in the Old World is not so pretty. World-ranging field birders and semiprofessional ornithologists will gladly find space on a tall shelf for this somewhat technical work, richly illustrated by Painters Robert Gillmor and Peter Hayman...
