...newsstand each morning, breathing a sigh of relief when it was the other's turn.) The two have suffered the trauma of seeing close relationships dissolve. A chief official and a young assistant of the MBTA, "close friends" of Locke, took the stand for the prosecution. Von Bulow's maid, his two step-children and his lover--the woman for whom he risked it all--gave testimony for the state...
...person cast that is admirably flexible, Remak Ramsay is outstanding. He combines a ramrod to-the-manor-born stance with a tissue-thin vulnerability. This holds true through a variety of roles: a small boy who is devastated when a maid (his surrogate mother) tells him that she is leaving to start a family of her own; a middle-aged man painfully humiliated by his teen-age son's awareness of his liaison with his best friend's wife; an old man meticulously detailing his own funeral arrangements to his son while soliciting some final word or gesture...

...America's wealthiest and most distinguished families. Whitney used his entrepreneurial skills in a grand array of profitable ventures. In the 1930s he astutely backed Gone With the Wind and the long-running Broadway hit Life with Father. He also made early investments in Minute Maid orange juice, Pan American World Airways and several radio and TV stations. A moderate Republican, he was named Ambassador to the Court of St. James's by President Eisenhower in 1956, and while still a diplomat, he purchased the ailing New York Herald Tribune, which he was unable to save, though...
