...primary. Lucey, who sports a PT 109 tie clasp, visited the White House often during the New Frontier and in 1963 was recruited by J.F.K.'s brother-in-law Stephen Smith to reorganize Ohio's Democrats. In return, Bobby Kennedy last August topped the bill at a dinner that netted $60,000 for Lucey's current campaign. Since then, however, Kennedy has carefully stayed clear of Wisconsin's politics...

...elaborate embraces for Marlon Brando, Prince Stanislas Radziwill and Lee, Roddy McDowall, Terry Southern, Francoise Sagan and Barbra Streisand (who opens in Funny Girl this week). Dame Margot Fonteyn is due. Warren Beatty, Caron's most recent co-star (in Promise Her Anything), is there. After an excellent dinner of chicken, claret and Chablis, the 28 guests dance till dawn...
