There, with the help of our stringer Mario Modiano, Bell chartered the only plane at the airport that was not controlled by either Onassis or the Greek government.

Still, she was raised in Chanel suits picked out by her mother, and she now goes dining and dancing in pants-shaggy fur ones for the gaucho look at a party given by Vogue Editor Diana Vreeland, fringed satin ones for the Indian look at a Four Seasons reception for Yves Saint Laurent. Post-Deb Cathy Macauley, 21, shows up in Manhattan for the superformal opening of the Metropolitan Opera season wearing black culottes, an extravagantly embroidered...
