...past few months, Gerald Parsky, 32, seems to have emerged out of nowhere to become one of official Washington's brightest new Wunderkinder-and the youngest Assistant Secretary of the Treasury ever. Parsky serves Treasury Secretary William Simon as confidant, emissary and all-round Mr. Fixit. He sees Simon a dozen times daily and often closes his 14-hour workday chatting with his chief over soggy pizza and a couple of fingers of Scotch. With his wife and two children, Parsky sometimes spends Sunday, his only day off, at the Simon estate in Virginia...
...frightening discontinuity. To establish a solid starting point, she rebuilds almost brick by brick the Savikin family's opulent apartment in Vilno. Here is her room, gaudy with color; here is the austere chamber of Sister Vera, who thinks only of her piano; here is Zoshia, the youngest maid, skating about with a brush on each foot, polishing the parquetry...
Ford's hard-edged speech proved to be an appropriate thematic counterpoint to the opening address of General Assembly President Bouteflika.

...stories concern the Richardson family, from the birth of Sam and Laura's youngest son, Question, in Virginia to a family reunion almost twenty years later in Venice. Sam joined the State Department to escape from his parents' life as Long Island country squires--hunting, fishing and putting up Christmas trees. Although he soon becomes disaffected with his job, he is compensated by the life of a diplomat: a few years here, a few years there, never staying in one place long enough to grow restless or attached to the surface of things. His three sons--Scobie, Matthew, and Quentin...
...game that has gone truly international, the American champion ship competition has the biggest and best field of foreign players in its 93-year history: 80 performers from 26 countries. Some of the most talented competitors are the youngest, led by Swedish Wunderkind Björn Borg, 18, seeded fourth after his sweep of the Italian and French opens earlier this year and a recent victory in the U.S. Pro Championships in Brookline, Mass. If Borg falters on the grass at the West Side Tennis Club, Sweden's sorrow could turn into joy for Argentina or Mexico. The hottest...
