Though the business is still wholly owned by the Schwarz family, no Schwarz has been active in its management since 1931. President Veysey, a trim, pipe-smoking Canadian, who learned retailing with New York's B. Altman & Co., carefully maintains the Schwarz tradition. He spends much of his time on the floor chatting with customers, continues to seek out the kind of exclusive toys that built the business. By offering premiums to toymakers, Schwarz gets them to add individualized touches to its toys-a redesigned box or an extra pair of shoes for a doll. The extras, plus...
...first morning in Tokyo, Ethel, wearing a red suit with black trim and matching hairbows, set off without Bobby from the U.S. embassy for a day of adventure on her own. Her first stop was the University of the Sacred Heart, whose superior, Mother Anne Stoepel, had been a teacher at Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart in Purchase, N.Y., when Ethel and her Kennedy sisters-in-law, Eunice Shriver and Jean Smith, were schoolgirls there. (Mother Stoepel was transferred to Japan by her religious order in 1959.) To the grey-uniformed girls of the upper school, Ethel delivered...
Paul ("Tony") Hinkle is a man of frightening versatility. In addition to being athletic director at Indiana's Butler University (undergraduate enrollment: 1,900), Hinkle is an author, TV commentator, lecturer and Indianapolis civic leader. A trim 63, he manages Butler's baseball team; to make sure the playing field is in top shape, he plows, seeds and rakes it himself.

Shades of Ben. The three professors plenipotentiary have written 25 books among them, are unabashed intellectuals in countries that respect scholars or ideologists. Outwardly, they are as dissimilar as their specialties. Trim (5 ft. 11¼ in., 155 Ibs.), athletic George Kennan is blunt, analytical, professional, and a deeply moral man who agonizes over the increasingly "sterile" clash of East and West. Towering (6 ft. 8 in.) Ken Galbraith is a vastly engaging, vastly self-assured pragmatist; given to heavily ironic wisecracks, he likes to be taken for an ogre, and in diplomacy, he claims, he has had to make...
...years, skiing was a sport for sun burned huskies in low-slung plus fours and a handful of hardy girls willing to bundle up like a G.I. blanket roll. Now the whole shape of skiing has been changed by a trim, cozy and inordinately sexy import from Germany: stretch pants. Many a girl who did not know a slalom from a sitzmark has discovered that stretch pants round out her personality in a fetching manner and make a skiing weekend an opportunity rather than an ordeal; men linger on the trails to see rather than ski as the girls...
