Away with Animals. Born the son of a well-to-do Leipzig physician, Hartung began drawing in infancy, as most children do. But, recalls Hartung, "while the other kids were drawing manikins and animals, I tried to draw thunderstorms." Later on he filled the margins of his schoolbooks with doodles that seemed best to express his feelings.

A Legacy describes the Victorian and Edwardian heyday when well-to-do men and women wandered without let or hindrance in a network of social connections that ran from the tip of Scotland to the toe of Italy. They toiled not, neither did they spin (except in diplomatic circles), and Robert, Léon and Tzara struck them as being...
Cineminx Terry Moore, 28, married last February to well-to-do Insurance Man Eugene McGrath, 34, was traipsing between South America and California last week, after confiding to Hollywood Gossipist Sheilah Graham that a going marriage is based on the little things that count. Said Terry: "For our first-month anniversary, Gene gave me diamond earrings. The next month, a gold bracelet and a solid gold carryall. Third month, a race horse. Fourth, a five-carat diamond ring. Next, a diamond bracelet from Tiffany's. The sixth-month anniversary, there was a blue Cadillac Eldorado waiting outside the door...
