...fought back tears. Beside her, as in past moments of crisis, stood her former husband and still close friend, Singer Andy Williams, 45. Claudine had just been released on a $5,000 bond in the shooting death of her lover, Ski Champion Vladimir ("Spider") Sabich, 31, at his Aspen home, and District Attorney Frank Tucker was preparing to arraign her next week. Possible charges range from criminally negligent homicide (a misdemeanor carrying maximum penalties of two years in prison, a $5,000 fine, or both) to second-degree murder (with a maximum of 50 years' imprisonment...
...altitude, high-living ski resort occurred shortly after 5 p.m. on a bright Sunday. After spending a couple of hours on the slopes and several more reportedly drinking with some male companions at a popular watering hole, Longet returned to Sabich's house. Soon afterward, she phoned the Aspen Valley Hospital to report that there had been a shooting. Sheriffs officers, police and ambulance attendants found Sabich lying in the master bathroom, next to a sunken tub, mortally wounded by a single .22-cal. bullet in the abdomen. As Aspen Valley's Dr. Charles Williams related it, Longet...
Claudine and Sabich met at a 1972 celebrity ski race in Bear Valley, Calif. Friends say Sabich built his sumptuous $250,000 timber and stone house at exclusive Starwood, three miles west of Aspen, expressly for Longet. Sabich, the son of a Placerville, Calif., cop, finished a highly respectable fifth in the slalom at the Grenoble Olympics in 1968, turned pro in 1971, and started earning big money. His prizes alone topped $50,000 in 1972, and he pulled in at least that much in endorsements for everything from ski products to coffee...
...week's end, the Ford camp's joy over Florida was considerably dampened by a scandal involving Campaign Manager Howard ("Bo") Callaway. He owns a two-thirds interest in Crested Butte, a ski resort near Aspen, Colo. Crested Butte wanted to use 2,000 acres of federal land on nearby Mount Snodgrass for a second, $45 million ski area. The U.S. Forest Service tentatively turned down the proposal in January 1975 on grounds that Crested Butte did not draw enough skiers to warrant the expansion...
Moderate View. At one time criticized for catering to an amorphous market, Chrysler now seems to have found its niche in intermediates and compacts. The Cordoba, introduced under Townsend last year, was an instant success; it was followed by Volare and Aspen, both aimed at small families. These cars now account for about half of Chrysler's sales, which were up 20% from a year earlier through the first 20 days of February. Next year the company will enter the subcompact field with a front-wheel-drive auto modeled after Chrysler France's highly praised Simca 1307/1308...
