Her indebtedness comes mostly from the overhead of maintaining and heavily staffing five homes, a passion for betting on horses and a penchant for lavishly entertaining friends. ``She lays on a spread that, quite honestly, is sometimes completely out of tune with the times we are living in,'' said the source. ``When she invites people to tea it is a magnificent affair.''

Artist to leash his dog statue It's only a bronze statue - a dog that can't run wild, chase cars or bite anyone - but that doesn't make it exempt from New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of City's leash laws. In the wake of the city's crackdown on leash law violators, the creator of a life-sized park statue called ``Man & His Dog'' reaffirmed Tuesday that his work will include a leash. ``I've always intended to have a leash. Because a man wouldn't sit on a park bench with a dog without having a leash on it,'' artist Jack Dowd said. ``The dog wouldn't stay there. He'd probably be off chasing birds.'' The statue will be unveiled in Tompkins Square Park Tompkins Square Park is a 10.5 acre (42,000 m²) public park in the Alphabet City section of the East Village neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. It is square in shape, and is bounded on the north by East 10th Street, on the east by Avenue B, on the south by next month. Parks Department officials last month began cracking down on those who let their dogs run free. They have proposed fining repeat violators as much as $1,000. Officials became nervous when they saw photographs of Dowd's 400-pound statue depicting a man sitting on a bench beside a leashless dog. But Dowd said he had left the bronze leash off the statue because he feared vandals would damage it. News Lite is compiled by Audrey Ramsay Prest from Daily News staff and wire reports.
