...familiar look, a return to the big, brash scene of the 1930s marathon dance halls, and on opening night some 2,000 invited guests pushed through the door of the Broadway and 53rd Street site known to their parents as the Riviera Terrace and, before that, the Arcadia Ballroom...

...Shriver, 50, is going to miss his baby too. Having left the Peace Corps to devote full time to the domestic war on poverty, he said goodbye on the corps' fifth anniversary at a "Shriver a Go-Go Party." As 1,500 corpsmen and friends jammed into the ballroom of Washington's Sheraton-Park Hotel, Shriver assured everyone that things would still be jumping under new Director Jack Hood Vaughn.
