...something of an irony that he is remembered chiefly for his Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, an informal, even gossipy collection of biographical studies of the great and near great of Italian art. This boxed three-volume re-edition, translated by Gaston Du C. de Vere (Abrams; 2323 pages; $225), is of high quality on the inside with gemlike tip-ins, though a touch tacky on the outside with spines of imitation leather. Real cloth would have been classier...
...Editor Clay Felker after his humiliating loss of that magazine in 1976 to Australian Publisher Rupert Murdoch. Never can be a very short time in the publishing business. This week Felker will lose another magazine, Esquire (circ. 650,000), which he bought in 1977 with money from British Publisher Vere Harmsworth's Associated Newspapers.

The firm is half-owned by the Bonnier Group...

She approaches manners from the perspective of a working woman who did not marry until she was 35, a mother of two, an executive feminist who wears black dresses and pearls, and head of her own Manhattan public relations firm, Letitia Baldrige Enterprises, Inc. At 51 she serves on the board of directors of three companies (the New York Bank for Savings, Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., and Outlet...
...Sadat expected, his Arab enemies vere quick to interpret Israel's latest actions as further proof that Begin intends never to give up either the West Bank or East Jerusalem. Ever since the beginning of his peace efforts last year, Sadat has been dangerously isolated from the Arab world. He was relieved last week when the Sudan became the first Arab state to endorse Camp David, and he also took satisfaction from an editorial in a Saudi Arabian paper, the daily Okaz, declaring that Camp David represented "an important stage in Arab history and should be recognized as an established...
