...Nicole Alphand, 49, is now hard at work becoming a lady of letters. Like practically everyone else who knew the Kennedys, she is writing a book. Actually, says Nicole, the tome will be more than a Kennedy reminiscence; it will record all the eight years she and her husband Hervé spent brightening up Washington's social scene when he was the French ambassador there.

For the Opera Ball, the capital's top social event of the season, the French embassy garden was transformed into a tented version of Maxim's in Paris. Party regulars (Vice President Humphrey, Lynda Bird) and regular partygoers (Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Vogue Editor Diana Vreeland, Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart) were all there, along with a clambake of Kennedys (Bobby, Ethel, Ted, Eunice and Sargent Shriver), a détente of diplomats, and a ponderosity of pundits. The music, fittingly enough...
