Carter scores best with those businessmen who meet him face to face. Last week three Carter supporters-Henry Ford, who does not identify himself with either party, and Democrats Edgar Bronfman, chairman of Seagram Co., and J. Paul Austin, chairman of Coca-Cola-threw a meet-Jimmy lunch at Manhattan's "21" Club-and invited 49 of their colleagues. Carter assured the assembled executives that he favors "a minimum of interference of the Federal Government in free enterprise," and stressed his receptivity to criticism and advice. He also said he "would not do anything to minimize" the investment activities...
Christie quickly became mistress of complex, cerebral plotting. Though she once wrote a book based on the Lindbergh kidnaping (Murder on the Orient Express), she would probably have been powerless even in her prime to turn the Bronfman case into fiction. It was too badly bungled. Among the 65 thrillers she has written in a 55-year career are several classics: The ABC Murders is a fiendish triple trap, Murder in the Clouds, a sleek variant of the locked-room ploy set in the cabin of a small airplane, What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw, a neat bit of one-upmanship...
There was another item of unfinished business, postponed because of the kidnaping, and that was the third marriage of Edgar M. Bronfman, 46, chairman of Seagram Company Ltd. and father of Sam. The wedding took place last week at Bronfman's 174-acre estate in Yorktown, 35 miles north of New York City. His bride is Georgiana Eileen Webb, 25, whom he calls "George" and whose name was Rita until he asked her to change it. She is the daughter of a builder and country restaurant owner from Essex, outside of London...
...guests strolling about the manicured lawns included a relaxed and casually dressed (no necktie) Sam, as well as Bronfman's first wife Ann and their other four children. The presiding judge flew in by helicopter just before the three-minute ceremony, and other helicopters hired by excluded newsmen continued to whir overhead. That prompted one of Bronfman's closest neighbors, former New York Governor Averell Harriman, to remark, "They really ought to be shot down." The bride ignored such interruptions. Wearing a striped chiffon dress and large white hat, she skipped spiritedly across the lawn after the ceremony...
Married. Edgar M. Bronfman, 46, board chairman of Seagram Company Ltd.; and Georgiana Eileen Webb, 25, daughter of a retired British builder who runs Ye Olde Nosebag in Essex, England; he for the third time, she for the first; on the 174-acre grounds of Bronfman's Yorktown, N.Y., estate, in a ceremony that had been postponed for four days because of the kidnaping of his son Samuel (see THE NATION...
