Built around 1907, the Tudor-Gothic mansion was a fine example of careful stonework and superbly finished interiors, set down on a luxuriant plot of waterfront lawn on Jamaica Bay. It began as a residence for Henry Heinschiemer, an eccentric New York banker whose security system included a sign that read, GENTLE STRANGER TURN BACK. When the age of grand living had passed it by, the big home became a hospital for joint diseases, then a private school for retarded children and later a rabbinical school. Now it is a bag lady of a building. A fire has destroyed much...
Goldsmith also still has Ginette, after a fashion. Now 51 and divorced ! since 1978, she lives in one wing of Goldsmith's Tudor-style Paris mansion, originally built for the brother of King Louis XIV. In the other wing of the same estate, across a courtyard bright with impatiens, lives Goldsmith's companion, Laure Boulay de la Meurthe, 36, a slim beauty with waist-length brown hair, and their four-year-old daughter Charlotte.

"We drew on our tradition to make it back," says Shortstop Ozzie Smith, "but that doesn't mean I'm in favor of every tradition...
...family caucus at his Tudor house in suburban Arlington, Va., his four children had their say. According to notes taken by Daughter Kristin, 10, they agreed on the No. 1 negative: "Dad wouldn't be here a lot." Karenna, 14, worried about his relative obscurity compared with the front runner at that time: "It would be hard to get more publicity than Gary Hart." Gore's wife Tipper was also torn. Co-founder of the Parents' Music Resource Center, an organization that opposes rock lyrics featuring sex, violence, drugs or alcohol, she was just starting a national tour to promote...
...total, avid sympathy with the choreographer. Unfortunately, American audiences may find these mighty pageants simplistic. The silent-film grimaces, the cartoons of good and evil, + the battle cries hurled soundlessly into the air can all be a bit quaint, unless one is willing to forget everything that Balanchine and Tudor accomplished and enter this brave old world wholeheartedly...
