Nowhere is Graber's clean and classic style more grandly evident than in Winfield House, the London residence of the U.S. Ambassador to Britain that he and Haines renovated for Publisher Walter Annenberg at a cost of more than $1 million. Graber's following is predominantly Western and wealthy, including such clients as the Alfred Bloomingdales (department stores) and the Henry Salvatoris (oil). Says Grace Salvatori: "He has a great sense of color and quality. The night Ted Graber has finished, everything is complete, right down to the flowers and bonbons on the tables. Your husband comes...
...tossing a surprise birthday party for my blue-eyed cowboy." Cary Grant, the Fred Astaires, the Gregory Pecks, Spiro Agnew, the Johnny Carsons and 200 others were on hand to greet the guest of honor at his own spread in Rancho Mirage, Calif., under a tent rigged with saloon-style bars, cacti, a bandstand and spittoons.

Miss Marple, the spinster sleuth-played agreeably by Lansbury in a more subdued style than is her custom or that of her glorious predecessor in the role, Margaret Rutherford-solves the case, almost by remote control...
Outside, with its Renaissance palette, its baby snatching and undraped newborns is certain to draw more psychosexual analysis. The crossfire is not likely to affect Sendak's life or style. After 35 years of remarkable work he is more preoccupied with the inside than the outside over there. Recently he watched a father carrying his young son in a backpack. The father stopped suddenly and the child bumped his head. "For an instant," the artist remembers, "it looked as if the child were about to cry. Then his head snapped backward, the kid stared at the sky openmouthed...
