...before he can get Grace to the altar, his dashing and disobedient son Charles falls in love with her. He arranges to draw off Sir Harcourt with a fresh scent, the county's hardest rider to hounds, Lady Gay Spanker. Naturally the proceedings are hampered by a covey of long-winded subplotters, plus every other known theatrical device, all of which Eyre has the gall to retain only to dispose of them with affectionate derision. Grace's pretty speeches are greeted with yawns, a tender love scene is made ridiculous by farcical staging, and the whole cast takes...
...style. Now free on $1.6 million bail, the one time booster of mutual funds was enjoying the good life last week in his 40-room Beverly Hills mansion. On hand to speed his rehabilitation, and help him forget the $122.5 million in lawsuits that he faces, were a covey of admiring roommates. "I have 22 bedrooms, and 19 of them are occupied," said Cornfeld proudly. "Women give life sparkle and keep things from getting drab."

To this year's Donner Pass Symposium for Distinguished Visitors come an obnoxious poet, Fox, and a weary, rueful professor, Isaiah Greene. Greene is at first charmed despite himself by the earnest and buxom simple-mindedness of the girls and their quaint collegiate rituals. What troubles him is the crassness of his odious colleague, the loudmouthed, girl-chasing...
...Along the way, he has acquired a somewhat less than convincing reputation as a swinger. Divorced from his wife in 1964, Kissinger has dated a covey of actresses, including Jill St. John, Liv Ullmann and Mario Thomas as well as TV Producer Margaret Osmer and Rockefeller Aide Nancy Maginnes. He obviously enjoys his reputation as the "playboy of the Western Wing," but he spends almost as much time with his children-Elizabeth, 15, and David, 12 -as he does on the social circuit. He also makes it clear that his work comes before anything. Of the actresses, he once remarked...
