...always been a complicated mixture of arrogance and defensiveness. Now, Diva Maria Callas, 43, and her good friend, Greek Shipping Millionaire Aristotle Onassis, were embroiled in a London lawsuit against Greek Shipowner Panaghis Vergottis over just how many shares each owned in a $3.3 million tanker called Artemision II. Maria told the court she thought Vergottis was double-dealing her out of a $168,000 interest in the tub. It was a curious thing for him to do, too, she added characteristically, because "Mr. Vergottis respected me and loved me. There are quite a few people who do that once...
Like Odysseus, Greek Shipping Millionaire Aristotle Onassis, 60, seems compelled to wander endlessly over the wine-dark sea. At least his raft is pretty comfortable. And so is the company. This time Ari and his constant companion, Maria Callas, 43, drifted into Nassau harbor aboard Onassis' 325-ft., $3,000,000 yacht Christina, a magnificent barge that comes equipped with its own twin-engined seaplane, swimming pool and crew of 50. After posing in the rosy-fingered dawn for a photographer from the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, the wanderers steamed off toward Palm Beach...
...odds against giving birth to twins are 80 to 1, against triplets 6,400 to 1, against quadruplets 512,000 to 1 and against quintuplets 40,960,000 to 1.

The babies, weighing about 19½ oz. each, were two months premature, and all died within hours. It was only the third time in this century...
...hair mussed? I like the way the girls wear their hair, and hope that they continue wearing it off-stage so, but nuts just aren't that tidy. Something should also be done about Sherry Turkle's legs, which are quite pleasantly pink. Miss Turkle plays the maid Maria, in this production a septuagenarian cackler. Of course I don't begrudge her her pink legs, but it just isn't fitting...
Unexpected Opposition. Since both the Vatican and Franco favored the bill, it was expected to sail through. Its author, Foreign Minister Fernando Maria Castiella y Maiz, 59, introduced it to his fellow ministers at a regular Cabinet meeting presided over by Franco. Trouble began almost immediately. To show their disinterest, half a dozen Cabinet members jumped to their feet and walked out of the room. Castiella, who has championed the bill for ten years, nevertheless pressed on with his familiar argument: granting religious freedom was not only the right thing to do morally but also the right thing for Spain...
