...would see psychoanalytic patients from eight to twelve. Dinner was punctually at one: at the stroke of the clock, the household assembled around the dining-room table; Freud appeared from his study, his wife sat down facing him at the other end, and the maid materialized, bearing the soup tureen. Then came a walk to restore the circulation, perhaps to deliver proofs or buy cigars. Consultations were at three, and after that, he saw more analytic patients, often until nine in the evening. Then came supper, sometimes a short game of cards with his sister-in-law Minna...
...more avant-garde echo of Sam Shepard -- a border skirmish between knockabout farce and knockdown violence. Yet Playwright Lanford Wilson manages to integrate well-crafted gags, mostly for the surviving gay roommate (Lou Liberatore). He describes his friend's gaudy casket as looking "like a giant Spode soup tureen." He says to the choreographer (Joan Allen) about her boyfriend (Jonathan Hogan), "I don't know why you don't just marry him and . . . buy things." In mock self-pity he demands, "Have you ever been to a gay New Year's Eve party? The suicide rate is higher than...
That is where Tribal Assets comes into the picture. The idea for the 3 1/2- year-old firm came from Thomas Tureen, 42, a graduate of Princeton College and George Washington University Law School, who took up the cause of Indian rights. In a ten-year court fight on behalf of the 4,200 members of Maine's Passamaquoddy and Penobscot tribes, he won an $81.5 million land-claim settlement in 1980.

...Under Tureen's guidance, the Maine Indians used a third of their settlement to repurchase 300,000 acres of lost forest land. Another third was put into a trust and now provides each Passamaquoddy and Penobscot household with a $1,000 to $1,200 annuity. To help the Indians invest the remaining $27 million, Tureen set up Tribal Assets in partnership with Daniel Zilkha, 44, a Princeton friend and former Wall Street investment banker. Because of Zilkha's connections in the financial community, says Tureen, "we had access to capital markets in a way that Indians would never have...
...America's Cup, yachting's great and garish grail, is a tumorous tureen no handsomer than a camel. In 1983 the news was not only that it was lost but that it was losable. A 132-year winning streak, the longest in all sport, was broken over the ample shoulders of San Diego Skipper Dennis Conner, the best and unlikeliest sailor in the world. He means to win it back this week...
