...Caviar & Hairdos. To wealthy Iranians with little stomach for austerity, he cried, "If my government falls, then everyone's life will be in danger. You and you and you." Dr. Amini stepped on sensitive toes by closing Teheran's glittering $9,000,000 airport to all foreign-bound Iranians except those traveling on bona fide business. First casualties were a bevy of Teheran socialites who were sent home in tears. Unmoved, Amini snapped: "Some ladies have been in the habit of going to Paris for hairdos." He slashed imports to save $50 million, arguing that once foreign luxuries...
...Except where wealthy men are in charge, U.S. embassies are often forced to serve bread while rivals offer cake. To celebrate the anniversary of the October Revolution, the Soviet embassy in Bonn last year hired the city's best club, lavished 500 guests with vodka, Crimean champagne and caviar.

Hyden and his colleagues at Goteborg, by exquisitely delicate techniques, have separated neurons from their adherent glial cells and have weighed them in units as small as millionths of a millionth of a gram. By taking fresh, still-living cells from a rabbit's brain, the Hyden team has been able to find...
...Kennedy's big bash at a downtown restaurant followed Frankie's Gala. An exhausted Jackie Kennedy went home, but all the rest of the clan, surrounded by the Hollywood troupe and scores of Kennedy friends, crowded in for a sedate but delightful few hours of champagne, caviar, hors d'oeuvres and supper. It was 4 a.m. before Jack Kennedy slipped into...
...seen such a night of festive gaiety. A sumptuously ornamented "New Year's tree" towered 50 ft. high in the vaulted St. George's Hall. Ambassadors, bishops, marshals in all their medals and all the top Soviet bosses thronged the long banquet tables and devoured mounds of caviar and salmon as Bolshoi sopranos sang and a symphony orchestra played. At the stroke of midnight,* Nikita Khrushchev raised his glass of Caucasian wine and shouted: "Happy New Year, comrades!" In great good spirits, he tossed out more toasts-"The heroic working class!" "The collective peasantry!" "The Soviet intelligentsia...
