Displaying a grand flair for showmanship refined by early training for the stage, he created dramatic settings for his cooking classes, for his writing and entertaining, and for his superb collection of majolica and antique wineglass rinsers in his handsome Greenwich Village town house. The bold checks he favored for jackets and the inverness Sherlock Holmes coats he often wore accented an epicurean life-style that would have fit grandly in the Edwardian...

No luck. And again. This time the bottle shattered on the asphalt lot. Coolly, Parton borrowed a wineglass and splashed some bubbly on target.
