Producer-Director Otto Preminger has a penchant for grand and explosive themes: the establishment of the Jewish nation in Exodus, Washington politics in Advise and Consent, race in Porgy and Bess.

But on the New Frontier, where talent and power are the most negotiable currency, the moneyed matrons are out and the "official" hostesses-the wives of ambassadors and Administration officials-are in. Short of a summons to dinner at the White House, few invitations are treasured as highly as those...
