Only an hour before the ceremony was Judge Thomas certain who it would be. While the judge waited, Kissinger played host at a select pre-wedding reception Saturday afternoon at the State Department's Madison Room.

...only a wife and mother, claims Soprano Maria Callas, 50. "There have been two great loves in my life," she told a Miami Herald interviewer. "My husband and another man." But fate had other plans. The plump twelve-year-old who belted out Caro Nome on the Original Amateur Hour grew up to be the most famous opera singer of her generation, a tempestuous diva whose emotional pyrotechnics and lengthy affair with Aristotle Onassis often attracted as much attention as her vocal virtuosity...
