...Coke-drinking, table-hopping host pulled his ear. That meant that a watching waiter should call him to the phone. A pull at his nose meant, "These are unimportant people-don't cash any checks for them." Favored guests were lavished with everything from an orchid to a car (he gave away more than two dozen over the years...

After spending $7,000,000 and employing 270 technicians, the firm displayed the result at ast week's Paris Auto Show: a new Rolls so thoroughly restyled that only the classic radiator grille, though lower and squarer, remains to recall the car's lineage. Rolls designers have chopped off 7 in. in length, 5 in. in height and 31 in. in width from the dimensions of the car's proud predecessor, the Silver Cloud. They have abandoned the old boxy profile in favor of a more streamlined look, redesigned the side slabs...
