Manhattan TV Executive Charles M. Amory considered himself fortunate in getting a good buyer for his 16-room cooperative apartment at 117 East 72nd Street, one of Manhattan's older, better apartment houses. There was no question about the buyer's solvency; the husband was Actor Peter Lawford, and his wife, Pat, as everyone knows, is a Kennedy. After about a month of negotiation over the reported $125,000 asking price, the deal was set, and last week the co-op's board of directors met, as is the rule in cooperatives, to pass on the Lawfords...
They don't actually have to start with that penny-ante stuff, but the experience could be useful. So it was that Sydney Lawford, 7, and her cousin, Maria Shriver, 8, went into business in front of the Palm Beach mansion of Grandfather Joseph P. Kennedy. Shrewd choice of location. The manse fronts on much-traveled North County Road-and their product, cold drinks priced at a nickel a gulp, quickly attracted a large clientele. But shortly the cops stepped in. Peddling without a license? No. Traffic...
...standards vary with his clientele. For people like Jerry Lewis, he will cut orange slacks and velvet-collared, cognac-colored dinner jackets; but soon after Peter Lawford took office as presidential brother-in-law, Sy began dressing him in striped suits and two-button coats, trying to raise Lawford to the standards of John Kennedy. "Kennedy is the best dressed President since Washington," says Sy. "Washington was so immaculate. Every time I see a picture of him, I'm astounded." Sy tries gamely to dress Pierre Salinger like Washington...
Western influences pop up every where throughout the country. Despite a scarcity of eggs and meat, store win dows display Elizabeth Arden cosmetics, Napoleon brandy and a selection of Scotch. Modern art hangs on gallery walls, and newspaper censorship has been relaxed; when President Kennedy's sisters, Pat Lawford and Jean Smith, visited Budapest, television and radio crews dogged their footsteps. Restrictions against travel to the West have been eased; long lines of visa applicants daily queue up outside Western embassies in Budapest, and it is now chic for vacationing Hungarian couples to agree to meet in Venice...
...your car is a built-in tape recorder. The Beverly Hills are already full of them-transistorized, chrome, four-speaker, stereophonic cartridge models, activated by the car battery. Frank Sinatra's Riviera has one. So have such clan wagons as Dean Martin's Corvette and Peter Lawford's Ghia. Tape recorders also make a sound like Muzak in James Garner's Jaguar, Red Skelton's Rolls and Lawrence Welk's Dodge convertible...
