...study, conducted between 1973 and 1980 by Dr. Umberto Veronesi and colleagues at Italy's National Cancer Institute, involved 701 women with tumors less than three-quarters of an inch in diameter. About half underwent radical mastectomies; the rest had "quadrantectomies," losing only the quarter of the breast with the tumor, plus lymph nodes in the armpit. The partial mastectomy patients received radiation therapy following the operation; since 1976 drug therapy has been given to women in both groups whose cancer had spread to the lymph nodes.

Artists as unlike as Naum Gabo and David Smith were affected by it. No sculptor interested in either ideal formal systems or new materials was immune to its promises, and its influence persists to this day. Sculpture had been solid since...
...coeur in Monaco since Grace Kelly forsook Hollywood to marry Prince Rainier 26 years ago, there were other subjects to pursue. The guest list, first intended to include family friends only, read like a compendium of the Almanack de Gotha and Variety. Among those invited: two ex-Kings (Umberto II of Italy and Michael of Rumania), the Aga Khan, Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia and Frank Sinatra, David Niven and Cary Grant.
