Going nowhere for dinner tonight? Try the White House. The food is good, the service is excellent, and you meet interesting people. Before a reception and a state dinner in honor of Austria's Chancellor Bruno Kreisky last week, the White House social office revealed that bachelors asked over to the Fords' are encouraged to bring a date. The result: faces not seen around the White House in years. Architect Philip Johnson brought Lee Radziwill, and U.P.I. Reporter Richard Growald escorted Barbara Howar, who has been in exile since the Johnsons banished her eight years ago. Unrepressed...
That is not to say that pretrial publicity is never a hazard to justice. The longstanding argument over the rights of free press v. the rights to fair trial goes back, in its modern phase, to cases like the Lindbergh kidnaping: the courtroom at Bruno Hauptmann's trial turned into a grotesque circus, jammed with 150 reporters and cameramen. In the case of Cleveland Osteopath Sam Sheppard, accused of murdering his wife in 1954, the local newspapers ran a virtual crusade for conviction before and during the trial. Incredibly, the jurors at first were allowed to go home...
...also a wonderful storyteller-quite a worthy and necessary talent for the subject of a documentary-and she has tales to tell that match her effortless animation: of studying intermittently but intensely with Albert Schweitzer, her spiritual mentor, in Africa during the 1950s; of Artur Rubinstein and Bruno Walter, who were patrons when she was searching for an orchestra to lead; of a fight with Tenor John Charles Thomas, who refused to perform in concert with a woman as a conductor. In the 1930s Antonia organized an all-woman orchestra in New York. Later she brought men into it, because...
Sterling (original name: Bruno Zwerling) began amassing a collection of memorabilia that now includes four filing cabinets stuffed with 13 years of Rogers' columns and other writings. He decided that Rogers' country wit and wisdom "deserved to be read again." Sterling keys his selections to current headlines, but does not try to edit out now obscure references or names. He believes that the vintage flavor of the columns adds to their basic appeal: "When people read Will Rogers, they realize that much of what we are going through has happened before, that we've already lived through...
...life in New Jersey. Peace was short-lived, however. In 1932, the Lindberghs' first and then only child, 20-month-old Charles Jr., was kidnaped from a second-floor nursery. Ten weeks later, the body was found in a shallow grave in some woods near the Lindbergh home. Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a Bronx carpenter, was later convicted in probably the most celebrated trial of the century, and then electrocuted for the murder. Throughout the search for Charles Jr. and throughout the Hauptmann trial, the Lindberghs were hounded by the press, which treated their ordeal with savage sensationalism. Finally, Lindbergh...
