What should the tourist buy? Certainly not Chinese clothes, leather goods or toys, which in general are costlier or less stylish than those from other countries. Chinese ivory is not so fine as Thailand's. High-quality Chinese jade is exorbitant: an inchlong pendant, for example, sells for about...
...reasons to see Stiletto: Actors Joseph Wiseman and Patrick O'Neal. It is a rococo and frequently incoherent gangster yarn extracted like a rotten tooth from an old Harold Robbins novel. Stiletto seems to have been written only to take a share of the profits made by such stylish thrillers as Point Blank and Bullitt.

Jackie has traced an esthetic arc of grief, ending with a stylish whirl into another world. Ethel's special triumph has been to maintain normalcy. She has simply carried on, as best she could, the kind of existence that Bobby would have pursued had he lived. Countless other widows have had to do as much, most of them with less comfort from friends, family and position. Yet to acknowledge this takes nothing away from the energetic gallantry with which Ethel has managed...
