"Tina" excitedly chattered the news to a friend, inquiring Hearst Gossipist Igor ("Cholly Knickerbocker") Cassini, who reached her by phone in Paris, where she is luxuriating with her two children by Shipping Czar Aristotle Socrates Onassis, 54. In mid-June, Tina spent a profitably unprofitable day in Alabama, got an uncontested divorce and custody of the kids from "Ari." She asked no alimony. Ground: mental cruelty. Tina...
...with slick, whiny music (written by a freelance arranger named Mitch Lee). And immediately after the triumphant choral movement, while the timpani had scarcely stopped vibrating and the listener was still under the spell of the music, an oily announcer's voice heralded a "visit with Mrs. Igor Cassini," who then proceeded, on film, to demonstrate the charms of the new Lincoln Continental...
