...opposed the marriage in the first place, friends say, and called Jackie "an opportunist." By the time her father died, her feelings were such that she stopped the funeral motorcade and changed cars to avoid riding with Jackie. When the estate was settled, Christina wound up with a big chunk of it and Jackie received $250,000 a year (including $50,000 for her two children by J.F.K.). But Christina later decided to contest the terms of the will to get more, and so Jackie, feeling liberated from the constraints of her premarital agreement, asked in too. An angry Christina...
...otherwise they rarely confer on day-to-day operations. There is talk of an eventual successor to Hef as chief. One candidate for the title: his daughter Christie, 24, who is now concentrating on new magazine development and presumably one day will wind up owning a big chunk of Hefner's 72% of Playboy stock, at present worth $48 million...
...eyed Victor: "If these walls could only talk, think what they'd be saying about a Reuther marrying in the Fisher home." His wonderment referred to the Moorish-style palace that was the scene of the wedding. Bought by the Krishna cult for about $350,000 (a good chunk of which was donated by Lekhasravanti and Ambarish), it was built in 1928 as the $2.5 million digs of the late Lawrence P.

Expanding Bureaucracy. The largest chunk of the money is still spent on training and terrorist operations; last week a Palestinian bomb went off near Tel Aviv, killing one person and wounding 26. One of the smaller and poorer fedayeen groups, the Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, took credit for the incident. But an increasing percentage of the revenues pay for a rapidly expanding bureaucracy. The P.L.O. has opened offices-in effect, quasi embassies-in about 100 nations. Heads of the larger offices in Europe and North America receive around $1,500 a month along with "representation" allowances...
...Lebanon took an unanticipated chunk from the organization treasury-according to one reliable estimate about $100 million. Although most of the P.L.O.'s guns and ammunition were underwritten by other countries, notably Libya, the organization has had to care for 4,000 disabled fighters as well as dependents of the dead. Widows continue to receive $75 a month, parents $25, brothers or sisters $10 and children $5 each. Since the war, the P.L.O. has founded Samed (Arabic for steadfast), a kind of poor man's conglomerate of 24 factories and workshops in Lebanon that provide jobs...
