...temperament is understandable. Bergé has a legend to burnish and a business to run. He sounds like a man who knows strong competition when he sees it taking a stroll down the boulevard, decked out, more than likely, in some splendiferous Armani assemblage. The fact is, Saint Laurent remains the pale eminence of high fashion, in part because of his undisputed creative coups over the years, in part because of his huge volume of business and the relentless mythologizing of the fashion press. The fact is also that while Saint Laurent's contributions have been generative and historic...
...husky U.S. Army officer dressed in civilian clothes headed down the staid Boulevard Emile-Augier on his way to work at the U.S. embassy in Paris. Quietly, a man with a dark complexion and frizzy hair began to follow him. Before Lieut. Colonel Charles Robert Ray, 43, could reach his metallic blue Chevrolet with diplomatic plates, he was killed by a single shot that struck him in the back of the neck. The killer, who was glimpsed by several witnesses, ran down the quiet avenue and disappeared into a crowd of commuters...

William Holden, 63, whose rugged good looks and raspy baritone graced more than 50 films, including Sunset Boulevard, Picnic, The Bridge on the River Kwai and Network. He won an Oscar in 1953 for his hard-bitten prisoner of war in Stalag...
Henze does not drive a Rolls-Royce, but he is no stranger to capitalist success. The premiere in 1952 of his first major opera, Boulevard Solitude, brought him widespread attention. By age 40 he had recorded all five of his symphonies-he has since written a sixth-with the redoubtable Berlin Philharmonic. His opera The Bassarids was given a triumphant first production in 1966 at that bastion of conservatism, the Salzburg Festival; another opera, We Come to the River, was premiered by London's Royal Opera ten years later. Commissions are plentiful, and Henze is active as a conductor...
