...sponsor some local charity drive; almost every night, two groups get to gether for bowling matches or common meetings. In Madison, Wis., for example, the Knights and the Shriners co-sponsored a charity bazaar. In Tacoma, Wash., Columbians and Shriners gathered for what one ecumenical enthusiast called "a real bash." And in Hartford, Conn., the Knights have joined with the Masons and B'nai B'rith to form a brotherhood committee rep resenting a combined membership of 100,000. Says Supreme Knight John W. McDevitt, national head of the Catholic organization: "It's high time...
Pralines & Pompano. The young orchestra (average age: 33), when not involved in its programs or teaching 80 students at the festival's music school, is having a jolly good bash.

The afternoon before the Lasker bash, Lynda graced a table at Manhattan's scintillating La Caravelle restaurant, while her Secret Service escort went around the corner for a less Lucullan lunch.
