          returns, and Nancy signed them after they were prepared.  Nancy                    
          filed for divorce in 1973, and the divorce became final in March                   
          1974.  In 1974, after her divorce, Nancy moved to the New York,                    
          New York, area, intending to work in that city.  She did not get                   
          a job in New York--instead she met and married Sheldon.  At this                   
          time Sheldon was already an established and successful                             
          businessman; he was a part owner of one of the largest junior                      
          dress manufacturers, Dawn Joy.                                                     
                After Nancy and Sheldon were married, Nancy moved into                       
          Sheldon's New York apartment, and spent her days decorating the                    
          apartment, learning her way around New York, taking tennis                         
          lessons, dining with friends, and going to the theater.  In 1975                   
          Nancy and Sheldon jointly bought, and in 1976 moved into, a house                  
          in Demarest, New Jersey.  The purchase price was $135,000, for                     
          which they took out a $75,000 purchase money mortgage.  This                       
          house was their home throughout the rest of their married life.                    
          Nancy's and Sheldon's comfortable lifestyle remained                               
          significantly the same throughout their marriage.                                  
                Nancy and Sheldon had a "traditional" marriage.  Sheldon was                 
          the breadwinner-businessman, and Nancy was the home-manager, or                    
          "housewife".  Sheldon took care of the finances and made all of                    
          the investment decisions, as he had done before their marriage.                    
          Sheldon separated business from home; he conducted all business                    
          from his office in Manhattan.  Sheldon did not have an office in
