Sister Parish was an American interior decorator and socialite. She was the first practitioner brought in to decorate the Kennedy White House, a position soon usurped by French interior decorator Stéphane Boudin. Despite Boudin's growing influence, Parish's influence can still be seen at the White House in the Yellow Oval Room. Sister Parish was born Dorothy May Kinnicutt on July 15, 1910, in Morristown, NJ, her parents were May Appleton Tuckerman. Sister was born at home in a four poster bed, her paternal grandfather was Edith Wharton's doctor and close friend. In addition to their New Jersey house, the family had homes in Manhattan and Paris, she was given the nickname Sister by her three year old brother Frankie. As a child, Parish attended The Peck School in the fall and spring. During the winter, she attended Chapin School in New York, she boarded at Foxcroft School in Virginia. Parish was a debutante in 1927. Once she had completed high school, her parents expected her to marry, on Valentine's Day 1930, Kinnicutt married banker Henry Parish II at St. George's Episcopal Church in Manhattan.

After the wedding, the couple lived on East End Avenue in Manhattan, followed by a farmhouse on Long Lane in Far Hills, NJ which Parish decorated herself. In decorating the Long Lane house, Parish found her own sense of style, she painted wood furniture used cotton fabrics such as ticking stripe. She experimented with brightly painted floors. Parish's new home was more casual than other high society homes of the 1930s. Parish spent most of her summers in her house in Maine; the Great Depression tightened the family's finances and in 1933 the 23 year old opened a decorating business. Her Far Hills office cost $35 a month. Parish outfitted the room with wicker furniture and hung a sign that said "Mrs. Henry Parish II, Interiors."At the time she opened her business, Parish was untrained. She had never served any kind of apprenticeship. Parish's family helped influence her style. May's first cousin was acclaimed interior decorator Dorothy Draper. G. Hermann collected antiques. Parish's earliest work was decorating the houses of friends.

Parish met Jacqueline Kennedy in the late 1950s and helped her decorate the Georgetown house the family lived in while John F. Kennedy was a Senator. After Kennedy was elected President in 1960, Jackie hired Parish to help with the redecorating of the White House. Parish's name lead to some confusion, with one newspaper proclaiming:"Kennedys Pick Nun to Decorate White House."Prior to moving into the White House, the Kennedys leased a country house in Virginia called Glen Ora. Parish spent $10,000 redecorating the cost enraged Jack Kennedy; the Kennedys had to restore the house to its previous look before vacating. In a letter to Sister Parish, Jackie Kennedy explained her plans for the White House, ""I want our private quarters to be heaven for us naturally--but use as much of stuff as possible & buy as little new--as I want to spend lots of my budget below in the public rooms--which people see & will do you & I proud!" Parish used the Georgetown living room she had designed as a blueprint for the West Sitting Hall, painting everything off-white, installing bookcases for Jackie's collection of art books and paintings.

Parish and Jackie spent the entire budget $50,000 allocated for the redecoration of the White House on the private quarters in the first two weeks. Winterthur Museum Director Charles Montgomery suggested the formation of a committee to acquire antique furnishings for the White House; the goal was to help furnish the White House with authentic pieces from a century and a half earlier. Noted collector Henry du Pont was made chair of the committee and Sister Parish was among the committee members. Parish and DuPont concentrated on including American Federal furniture in the Sheraton and Hepplewhite styles. Much of Parish's work updating the White House was simple, like rehanging curtains inside rather than outside moldings, but some of the redesign was more complicated. As part of her redesign, Parish added a kitchen and dining room to the family unit on the second floor. Prior to this remodel, the First family had to go downstairs to the kitchen that serviced the State Dining Room whenever they wanted something to eat.

Through Parish, Steuben Glass Works offered a donation of crystal that Jackie refused in favor of Morgantown Glassware Guild in West Virginia. Toward the end of the project, a rift occurred. According to Parish's granddaughter,"it was a problem over money and Jackie's belief that not everything had to be paid for. Sister wrote. I wouldn't have put it past her, but, not the root of the falling-out. Sister would shrug off the questions with one of her glib remarks, like'Jackie got along much better with men than with women."'Although Parish decorated the family's private quarters, Stephane Boudin of Paris was hired to decorate the State Rooms. Boudin decorated the Red Room, the Treaty Room, the Lincoln Sitting Room and the Blue Room of the Kennedy White House. After Parish and Kennedy fell out, Boudin returned to the White House to add his French style to the private rooms. However, the Yellow Oval Room, the Kennedys' semi-formal drawing room, remained Parish's design. In 1962, a young designer named.

His first assignment with Parish was the breakfast room of the Kennedy White House. “I only did the curtain

On May 21, 2009, Ford Racing was released as a downloadable PS one Classic game on the PlayStation Store, allowing it to be played on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable; the computer version of Ford Racing features 12 different Ford vehicles and 10 race tracks, while the PlayStation version has 11 vehicles and eight tracks. None of the tracks are based on real locations; the player begins the game with a Ford Ka, while other vehicles are unlocked as the player progresses through the game. Two models exist for each vehicle for the years of 1997 to 2000, for a total of eight different versions of each vehicle.

In the game's Career mode, the player must win races to receive prize money, which can be used to upgrade vehicles. After a race, the player may choose to watch a replay, which can be viewed from different camera angles; the PlayStation version includes a multiplayer option, absent in the PC version. On Metacritic, the PlayStation version has a score of 53, while the PC version has a score of 51, both indicating "Mixed or average reviews." Several reviewers criticized the game's poorly conceived AI-controlled drivers for ramming the player's vehicle off the road. David Zdyrko of IGN reviewed the PlayStation version and criticized its graphics, standard music and sound effects, as well as the track designs. Zdyrko noted that the vehicles resembled their real-life counterparts, but that they "don't come close" to the vehicle designs offered in the Gran Turismo series. Shahed Ahmed of GameSpot criticized its graphics as well. Ahmed complained that only "dull and slow-moving" vehicles are available at the beginning of the game, while faster vehicles and "cool tracks" need to be unlocked.

Ahmed wrote, "Despite strong control mechanics and an advanced physics engine, the game has many flaws keeping it from being a appealing product." However, he wrote that fans of Ford vehicles "may find some novelty value in Ford Racing at its bargain price."Laurie Emerson of GameZone praised every aspect of the PlayStation version, wrote that the game is, "A winner on all counts!" GameZone's Rita Courtney praised the PC version for its gameplay and graphics, but wrote that additional instructions would have been helpful, stating "they are just a bit scarce for those who aren't familiar with racing games. It takes a 3-D accelerator card, which can be a problem for a lot of folks that have older systems. Other than that though, it's a lot of good racing action." Dave Woods of PC Zone criticized the game's controls and lack of multiplayer, concluded, "We were expecting a good ride with Ford, but we've been cruelly disappointed."Scott Moore of Sports Gaming Network praised the graphics and variety of vehicles, but criticized the lack of an in-car view while driving, calling it one of the game's "biggest drawbacks".

Moore criticized the music and sound effects, complained that each vehicle handled in the same way. Moore concluded that Ford Racing "is a good idea gone wrong." Clayton Crooks of AllGame reviewed the PC version and wrote, "Unfortunately, the graphics may be the only strong point of the game, as the playability leaves a lot to be desired. Billed as a racing simulation rather than arcade racer, Ford Racing was supposed to be about realistic physics and car handling, but the game falters in this respect." Crooks considered the music to be repetitive and mundane. Official website, archived via the Wayback Machine Ford Racing at MobyGames
