...Arnold Scaasi to replenish their spring and summer wardrobes. Mama Anne McDonnell Ford, 46, picked an evening outfit of bright pink sequins, but her girls, Anne Ford Uzielli, 23, who expects her baby in December, and Charlotte Ford Niarchos, 25, whose child is due this summer, bought loose-fitting, quieter frocks of black lacquered lace and peau de soie. Since Charlotte and Anne are both beatified on the Best Dressed list and Mrs. Ford is canonized in the Fashion Hall of Fame, the New York Herald Tribune's Eugenia Sheppard became curious about the new glad rags and sent...
...Maud Shaw when she left the service of the Kennedy family last summer. Unsurprisingly, she has changed her mind. Her little trickle into the flood of Kennediana includes some nursery-level characterizations of the children (John is "the clown . . . a natural comic," while Caroline, like her mother, is "the quieter, more reserved of the two, slow to make friends") and a few intriguing anecdotes. There was, for example, the time when Caroline first became aware of people's color. Once she noticed that she was turning brown in the sun at Palm Beach. "George," she asked a Negro servant...
...everyone looks upon London's new swing as a blessing.

What political ambitious still rest in the hearts of some Dunster men are silently worked out in the daily grind of preparing for law school. Dunster has become just a place to live--and is never anyone's first choice. Everyone' decides Dunster is too far from classes, has rooms that are too small, and has nothing of the elitist or material allure of other Houses. But the people who come to live in Dunster find that most of their premonitions about it were...
Neil Miller's orchestra, which is fine when it's blaring forth the overtures, sounds embarrasingly thin during quieter numbers like "How Are Things in Glocca Morra" and "Old Devil Moon." Wendy Philbrick's choreography--except for the genuinely funny beginning of Act II--seems humdrum, and fuller of to-ing and fro-ing than the quarters permit. And in a play about better race relations, it's unfortunate that a late line of dialogue, rather than the makeup, informs us that most of the chorus of sharecroppers is supposed to be Negro...
