Manning her telephone, Claudia finally hit on the right place, just an hour before curtain time. At 8 p.m. Fiddler Milstein, calm but breathless, strode onstage at Northwestern University's Cahn Auditorium, played, just as the printed program promised he would...

Of her near-fatal brush with rioting Vietnamese students in Saigon (TIME, Aug. 1), the lady who has often placated riotous guests with caviar and champagne confessed: "I had no idea what a mob was like. It was a miracle that I got out of Saigon with all my luggage." Biggest flop of her trip came...
