...sister, Lee Radziwill, in England. But when a lady has been queen of the headlines for so long, no place can really be a castle. London newsmen trailed Jackie to Lee's 49-acre estate, where a photographer snapped her standing alongside Dancer Rudolf Nureyev, bundled against the chill in a shapeless and unbecoming brown beret, blue jacket and grey trousers. And one woman's page writer waspishly suggested that in future Jackie reserve such headgear for her bath. Back in New York, Jackie passed the word that she wanted to be left strictly alone...

Nureyev also had a hand in the choreography of three productions that the Royal brought with it. The best were derivative-works restaged from the repertory of his former company, Russia's Kirov Ballet. By far the worst was his muddied Freudian version of The Nutcracker, in which Drosselmeyer, with a Humbert-Humbert lurch, is transformed into the prince who pays...
