COLE PORTER, the famed ivory-tickler, chain-smoker and song-writer, was born in Peru, Indiana, in 1891 and--ever the New York jet set's suave darling--died in 1964. His portfolio of hit Broadway musicals includes Gay Divorce, Anything Goes, and DuBarry Was a Lady. He materialized recently at the opening night of the Kirkland House production of Kiss Me, Kate. A reporter quizzed him on his views of the performance...
...said Iran's Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini, with his customary generosity to a fallen foe. The reports were indeed correct.

There was an obligatory wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe, a succulent lunch of salmon...
...another of I.O.S.'s 130 in vestment outlets. Cornfeld, a onetime social worker, proclaimed that "everyone can be a millionaire." As if to prove it, he lived a sybaritic life in a Geneva man sion built by Napoleon, where he was sur rounded by purring cheetahs, freeloading jet-setters and a harem of adolescent beauties...
