Erstwhile Congressman Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., 47, now a new dealer in Jaguar and Fiat autos, found himself embroiled with the Treasury over his income tax.

One curious result of his marvelously grimy performance in Caretaker is that he feels compelled to reassure people that "I do bathe-often. I had a bath a few minutes...
...third wife (the first two are dead), she is a celebrated figure at international spas, loves polo, shot 27 tigers before she retired from the sport because "I feel sorry for the animals." Now, as candidate, she neglects her custom of riding out in a monogrammed white Jaguar at 7 a.m. to exercise her husband's 18 polo ponies, spends the time instead writing campaign speeches and running four secretaries ragged with dictation...
