...presided gleefully when Arthur Schlesinger Jr. was pushed, fully clad, into the swimming pool at a Hickory Hill party. She was the mistress of a wacky ménage that included even more animals than children?Brumus, the huge Newfoundland of nippy disposition, the wandering armadillo that broke up tea parties, the pet hawk that once landed on Mrs. Averell Harriman's wig. She was the dinner-party cutup who once, in mock jealousy at the attention a high Government official was paying another woman, tossed a candleholder at him?to the obvious distaste of Jacqueline Kennedy, the regal sister...
Nothing untoward has happened to any of them-yet. But Associate Editor Douglas Auchincloss (Gemini), who wrote the cover story, is looking to the future with no little nervousness. Interested in the occult ever since a family maid told his fortune from tea leaves when he was a young boy, Auchincloss had a pair of horoscopes cast; he consulted a palm reader and interviewed a clairvoyant...
...found for impoverished hunters, Canada may turn the St. Lawrence Gulf into a seal sanctuary. Even the grizzled swilers should be relieved.

Early American silver, though generally not up to European standards in workmanship and design, also sells for giddy prices. The magic name is Paul Revere, even though myth-shattering experts agree that Revere was no better than other Boston silversmiths of his day. A three-piece Revere tea set was sold for $70,000 last year, up from about the $30,000 it was traded for only five years earlier. Says Kevin Tierney, 26, the sharp-eyed Irish appraiser that Manhattan's Parke-Bernet Galleries imported a year ago to smarten up its silver department...
