...something of a Chicago Jack Armstrong. His compulsion to serve rises from a father who made him work for his spending money, pumped a little prairie poetry into his views and whetted his appetite to study history, which he did for eleven years. Crane had three brothers, all superachievers, two of whom are running for Congress this fall (the oldest, a Marine jet pilot, was killed in an exhibition flight). If this sounds familiar, rest assured television writers have already called the Cranes the "Kennedys of the Middle West...
...beyond doubt, the year's strangest love match. This week in Moscow, Christina Onassis, 27, heir to her late father Aristotle's $500 million shipping, financial and industrial empire, is set to marry a Soviet citizen and Communist Party member who, say U.S. intelligence sources, may have KGB connections. What is more, she apparently intends to make her home in the Soviet capital...
...another Greek shipping fortune, but the couple were so incompatible that they never got as far as the altar. That over, she married, at 20, a Los Angeles real estate broker more than twice her age named Joseph Bolker. Nine months later, they divorced. Four months after her father's death, in 1975, she married Alexander Andreadis, scion of an Athens business family. "It is like being made a king for life," gushed Andreadis, who was dethroned by divorce less than two years afterward...
Kauzov, however, is unlikely to take over the Onassis shipping empire as well. Christina?who has demonstrated a shrewd capability for keeping her professional and love lives separate?insisted last week that the business would continue to be run by its present executives, who include many of her father's old associates. Beyond that, she should be able to acquire a Soviet visa that permits her to come and go as she pleases. Thus Christina could continue commuting between New York, Paris and Monte Carlo to conduct her corporate affairs from those preeminently non-Communist bastions...
...poet (Diane Keaton) married to a novelist who boozes because her reviews are better than his; an actress (Kristin Griffith) who can only get parts on TV; and a young woman (Marybeth Hurt) with the spirit of an artist, but no gift for any particular art. Late in life father has divorced mother, who grows more visibly dotty as the knowledge sinks in that he will never return; indeed, he has taken up with a sensible widow (Maureen Stapleton) whom the kids hate despite (really because of) her warmth...
