Photo caption that appears in print but not online: One and the same: Trump is trying to create a jewellery business that complements the family enterprise started by her father (below).*

* Next to the sidebar in print (titled Ivanka on Trump) is a photo of father and daughter.

(b) Paragraph 1: "smile blindingly white" alludes to teeth.

His cousin Jared Kushner is the publisher of The New York Observer and is married to Ivanka Trump.")

(i) Excerpt in the wondow pf the print: “I pursued architecture, so I’m the black sheep in the family,” Marc Kushner says.
(ii) Summary of NYT report: Instead of an architect, Marc Kushner co-founded a web site:

"So a year ago, he and three partners started Architizer, a social-networking Web site * * * In a sense, it functions like Facebook for architects.

It is debatable whether Mr. Donal Trump is wealthy or not. Certainly he is richer than I, but it can be just smoke and mirror Mr. Trump meticulously builds. I recall hiswail of woe and poverty when his first wife was divorcing him and his threats (in years far apart) to declare bankruptcy when creditors clamored for cash he did not have. Who know? He may sue me for this remark.
