...chairman and chief executive officer. Taciturn, Massachusetts-born Lee Waterman fits easily into the company-town atmosphere of Corning, N.Y., where he lives with his wife and two children. An accomplished musician, he played the French horn in the Corning Philharmonic until recently, still continues on Sunday afternoons to toot with four neighbors in a Dixieland jazz combo called "the Fifth Street Five...
...going to try moving the whole show down to Miami, "so I can sit around in the sun and play golf while working. Come next fall, we'll rent a boat, load the whole crew aboard and sail out of New York for Florida, full toot." Will his booze-'em buddy, Restaurateur Toots Shor, make the trip?

Devil's Footboard. That their youngest son took up art was reason for sackcloth and ashes at the Aronson home. His first one-man show drew a drubbing from the Jewish Daily Forward's art critic.

He lives like a loner-staying barely long enough in any one London flat to litter it and leave. Last week, having just ended a four-month toot, Bacon was back at his easel in a South Kensington mews flat that has been home for a scant fortnight. At the same time, 65 of his oils went on exhibit in Manhattan's Guggenheim Museum. It was the largest one-man show in the U.S. for a living...
