"TAKE A LETTER" Victor Muscat, a Greenwich, Conn., businessman, combines yachting with business. The head of a large aluminum tubing company, Muscat uses his 63-foot-yacht, the North Star, as his floating business office. LXiring the winter, he cruises along Florida's intra-coastal waterway with side trips to the Bahamas and Cuba. He is constantly in touch with his key executives when at sea. In addition to a ship-to shore telephone, he employs a special teleprinter cir cuit which can be plugged in at any yacht basin in the country. This circuit hooks up with his various plants around the country. In summer, Muscat cruises closer to home, on Long Island Sound and along the New England coast. Three aides are constantly on board: a captain, cook and per sonal secretary. The secretary. Miss Vanessa Carter, has long since acquired her sea legs snd can take dicta tation in the roughest weather. "I wouldn't trade my job with any landlubber at twice the salary," she says.

They're made of stone. The animals have been stand ing there for more than 400 years on what was once a fab ulous estate. They're a weird lot. Some look real, others like creatures out of mythology. A 16th century sculptor and archi tect named Vignola is said to have carved them. After long years of neglect, the "zoo" has now a brighter look. Dense overgrowth has been removed and the animals have been cleaned and restored to their original state. The stone "zoo" is pictured here. ? ?
