Treasure Chests. Secondhand shoppers are discovering that thrift shops are often treasure chests of remarkable goods. Coats with real mink collars are sometimes found among last year's ratty tweeds; Ming vases have been discovered on shelves next to neo-Woolworth butter dishes. Emily Cadra, manager of Everybody's, recalls the time a customer paid $4 for a small glass nut dish, then announced triumphantly that it was made by Steuben. Another customer returned to gloat that her 50? string of pearls had been resold for $50. Veterans of thrift shops generally agree that there is only...
...initiated by the late Göran Gentele and carried to brilliant fruition by his successor as general manager, Schuyler Chapin. It is easily the triumph of the Met's post-Rudolf Bing era. Chapin has even brought in Choreographer George Balanchine to stage a coolly graceful polonaise. Ming Cho Lee, 44, responsible for so many splendid New York City Opera sets (Giulio Cesare, Don Rodrigo), makes his Met debut with a masterly series of designs that not only touch the eyes but also move the drama forward virtually without pause.

But he remains now, since his death, the proud province of a militant army of action lovers who respond to him the way previous generations watched Johnny Weissmuller swing through the jungle or Buster Crabbe chase the Emperor Ming all over Mongo...
...biographical nor chronological. In many instances the idea of the presidency is actually used only as a springboard to exhibit themes of possible intrinsic interest, but certainly with only marginal relevance to the president in question. At the Hoover Museum one of the exhibits displays K'ang Hsi and Ming porcelains collected by Mrs. Hoover between 1899 and 1901 when Hoover, an engineer, (with what a government brochure calls "an international reputation as a `doctor of sick mines'") worked in China. At Independence, Truman's Masonic memorabilia are displayed with pictures of 14 other presidents who have been Masons...
