...into the swimming pool at a Hickory Hill party. She was the mistress of a wacky ménage that included even more animals than children?Brumus, the huge Newfoundland of nippy disposition, the wandering armadillo that broke up tea parties, the pet hawk that once landed on Mrs. Averell Harriman's wig. She was the dinner-party cutup who once, in mock jealousy at the attention a high Government official was paying another woman, tossed a candleholder at him?to the obvious distaste of Jacqueline Kennedy, the regal sister-in-law with whom she had so little in common...

They include Averell Harriman, who was put in charge of P.O.W. affairs at State almost three years ago. Flyers imprisoned in Viet Nam have signed many confessions-a situation that Harriman's aide, Frank Sieverts, finds predictable enough.
