No Pre-Fab Here: A Florida lawyer has come across some 50-year-old blueprints for a never-built home by late architecture giant Frank Lloyd Wright and hopes to build the cottage in Fort Lauderdale. “It’s the only tropical house that (Wright) ever designed,” Jon Krupnick said. Wright’s two-bedroom, one-bath house has a circular, two-story living room and an upstairs screened-in balcony.

She’s Familiar With the Case: Eleven years ago, Sally Frank, then a Princeton University undergraduate, challenged the males-only policies of some of the Ivy League college’s exclusive eating clubs. The dispute was unresolved when Frank graduated, and dragged on as she attended law school and passed the bar. Today, she is scheduled to argue her own case before the New Jersey Supreme Court. Lawyers for the Tiger and Ivy clubs argue that the groups are purely private. But Frank argues that “Princeton depends on the clubs to feed its students and to provide a social life. The clubs depend on Princeton for their members.”

Testing the Waters: Convicted Iran Contra figure Oliver L. North is trying to find funds to support his leadership of a new conservative organization called the Freedom Alliance. In a letter from Washington, D.C., the former Marine said he is soliciting funds for “a strong national defense . . . traditional values” and countering “the left-wing-dominated national media.”

Mike Andrews, Bob Davis, Dick Armey, Barney Frank, Charles Hatcher, Conrad Burns, Nick Mavroules, Mickey Edwards and Gus Savage.
