Reporters waiting for his arrival were disappointed. Rita was not there. Director Charles Vidor, his host for the five-day visit, was waiting with car and chauffeur. Would Aly and Rita . . .?

He is worth some $40 million and owner of homes in Manhattan, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, Hobe Sound (Fla.), Sun Valley and Paris. But he is possessed with a patrician's best instinct for public service, decency and generosity. As adviser, errand boy and global troubleshooter for Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman, he has always been selfless, tireless-and available. When he was sworn...
