Lyons is small and frail-looking; on the rush-hour subway home to West 81st Street, he is just another straphanger. He demonstrates his own unrecognizability by spotting people reading "The Lyons Den" and saying to them, just before he gets off the train, "Not a bad column." Sylvia is always home to greet him, and if she sees lipstick on his cheek, she knows he's having a good day. "I figure Charles Revson kissed him," she says...
THERE IS a double homecoming at the Fogg. The Grenville L. Winthrop Retrospective is an exhibit of the Fogg's greatest bequest, given by Grenville Winthrop in 1943. The show evokes the collection's first home in Mr. Winthrop's East 81st Street apartment, and simultaneously establishes how much at home it is in the Fogg Museum on Quincy Street. I have never seen such a combination of warmth and excellence in a show here -- professional in its catalogue, hanging, and choosing of objects and so intimate at the same time...
Living in a rambling adobe house in the sun-baked New Mexico mountains, still painting stark, haunting canvases as she nears her 81st year, Georgia O'Keeffe is as full of flash and flint as ever.

Violist Michael Tree offered a suggestion. "Maybe," he told the old man, "you could come in a little slower, maybe more quietly." Violinist John Dalley agreed with a nod.

And Artur Rubinstein, a month short of his 81st birthday, led three members of the Guarneri Quartet, whose average age was 36, back to the microphones for another try at Brahms's Piano Quartet in G Minor...
...months of the year, the nation's real output of goods and services declined. Statistically, the setback was minuscule (0.06%) and much too brief to qualify as a meaningful interruption in the long expansion. Having picked up momentum again, the economy passed a notable milestone in November: the 81st month of unbroken prosperity, bettering the war-fueled record set between 1939 and 1945. Over the past six years, the average American family's real income has swelled 22% (to $7,404), and the whole economy has grown by $281 billion-which is more than the combined 1966 output...
