...precarious job is just one of many anomalies about him. A graduate of Yale, where he majored in English, Tartikoff, 35, has the wit and offhand manner of a hip assistant professor. In the office he often appears in crew-neck sweaters and never wears a watch. The modest three-bedroom home where he lives with his wife Lilly and daughter lacks such California status symbols as a swimming pool and tennis court. During off-hours, Tartikoff enjoys shooting baskets (on his one extravagance, a home court that his wife gave him for Father's Day) and playing third...
...twelve years. In 1971, with so much traffic passing their door every day, he and Carol started a highway business that included a grocery, Laundromat and showers. They sold it in 1977, tired of working 18-hour days. A few months later, just as they were finishing their new three-bedroom house, they again got wanderlust. With their daughter and the two boys who had been born in Alaska, they moved to Las Vegas, where Marino ran a gas station. "We wanted to show our kids there was something more than just Trapper Creek," says Carol. They stayed three years...
...presented the Tories with a problem: their new party leader did not sit in the House of Commons. A Tory M.P. from Nova Scotia obligingly resigned, and Mulroney ran for the seat in a special by-election. Leaving nothing to chance, the rookie candidate moved his family into a three-bedroom log cabin in the contested district. Swapping his pinstripes for plaid sweaters, Mulroney beat his closest opponent by more than 2 to 1. Perhaps Trudeau, vacationing in Greece at the time, sensed what was to come. Remarked the Liberal leader upon hearing of Mulroney's election: "We will...
...median sales price for an existing house in greater Los Angeles was $114,200-in the nation, it was $71,800. But who can find a "median" home? The other day, on a quiet street in Santa Monica, a FOR SALE sign went up in front of a three-bedroom, one-bath, fake stucco 1940s house on a lot the size of a gas-station road map. Asking price: $269,000. A plump woman walking by wearing a muumuu said, "It may sound high, but you pay to be close to the beach. The air is better." Down...
...died in the Falklands war remains unfinished because polished stones were damaged en route. But distance is not the only excuse. Local officials have yet to set up an agency to allocate the nearly $44 million from Parliament for the development of the islands. Half of the 54 three-bedroom prefabricated houses that were built at a cost of $187,000 each to relieve the shortage of homes in Port Stanley stand empty because it will take as long as six months to hook them up to drains and water. Says the project's British manager...
