This boy -meets -girl -in -Manhattan romp proves conclusively that New York is a summer festival where the bluebird of happiness has solved such problems as air pollution. Sandra, clad in Jean Louis dresses, plays an actress and part-time cleaning woman who disinfects Bobby's bachelor flat every day, never dreaming that he is the same young man she bumps into all around town. Nor does he suspect the identity of his sweepheart. Bobby is a rakehell who keeps a card file of his conquests with horse-racy annotations ("Slow starter but good in the stretch"). His flat...

In an effort to placate the locals, Somivac last week nervously assigned four additional...
...cookout this summer included White House Chef René Verdon, former Colony Chef Jean Vergnes, former Le Pavilion Chef Pierre Franey, La Caravelle Chef Roger Fessaguet, and Jacques Pépin, former chef to Charles de Gaulle. On the beach, the fivesome whipped up a little barbecue that featured poached striped bass, grilled squabs and lobster farci, plus a bluefish au vin blanc. Inevitably, the recipes used found their way into his column...
