Paris sent Princess Peggy d'Arenberg and Dubonnet-Maker André Dubonnet; from Manhattan flew Marylou Whitney (with a sequined bee on her bonnet), along with Newport's Jimmy and Candy Van Alen, Gardiner's Island's Robert Gardiner, Hollywood's Carol Channing and politics' Ted Sorensen and Richard Nixon...
