...weeks of performances, including the season premiere of Turandot, starring Luciano Pavarotti and Montserrat Caballe. It will be two or three weeks before the house reopens. For some productions, like Samson et Dalila, Das Rheingold and Gotterdammerung, the agreement almost certainly has come too late. A new staging of Queen of Spades, planned for next March, may also be scratched. Even so, there were few tears at Lincoln Center. If the accord had not come now, there might have been no season...
...more than my husband, owned me." Another steamy Hollywood confession? Indeed, and also another titillating chapter in the ever expanding Kennedy legend. This time the protagonist is not Lady-Killer Jack, but Joseph Sr., family patriarch. In her soon-to-be-published autobiography, Swanson on Swanson, former Movie Queen Gloria Swanson, 81, describes a 1927-29 liaison with the elder Kennedy, a business partner in many of her films. The affair destroyed her marriage to the Marquis de la Falaise, she reports, and nearly ended Kennedy's to Rose. The impending scandal, writes Swanson, led Boston's late...

...into a sticky Catch-22. His actions cannot be challenged by the premiers until the resolution favoring his package takes effect; and by the time his plan takes effect, the premiers will be paralyzed. It is difficult to imagine--say in mid-1981 after a glorious ceremony whereby the Queen hands the country its constitution--the premiers going to court in search of a ruling that would have the constitution shipped back across the Atlantic...
...York's wildlife enthusiasts were delighted to spot a rare specimen of Regia britannicus in their city last week. Britain's Prince Philip, 59, conservationist husband of Queen Elizabeth, nested in Manhattan just long enough to preside at a $400-a-person dinner benefiting the New York Zoological Society, lecture on wildlife preservation to 2,700 invited guests at Lincoln Center and adroitly dodge questions. At a press conference where he was descended upon by local newshawks (clearly an unendangered species), he stuck to the matter at hand. Asked for his view of the Iran-Iraq...
