Waystop for the Kennedys abroad is the villa Vista Bella, rented every summer since 1957 by Joe Kennedy (for $2,000 a month) at Cap d'Antibes on the French Riviera. The interior of the villa is as dark as a cave, and is an idle mixture of Louis XV, Louis XVI, Chinese and Magyar decorative styles.

Grant. There too was doddering old Nestor, also wearing the blue, with binoculars around his neck. Menelaus wore pince-nez, and they all used the spittoon and the likker jug. The Trojan...
...Maggie Daly Bazlen, Brigid is compared by flacks to Elizabeth Taylor and described by associates as a "woman-child" with "something inside her that is 30." In How the West Was Won, she ends up hanging from a tree limb because she lures Old Trapper Jimmy Stewart into a cave, goes for his pelt and tries to kill him. When she is really 30. she'll probably...
