...greater screen-writing success of the other writers and the lesser body of critical writings preceding him here, Dardis writes more to the point after closing the Fitzgerald section of his book. His description of Stanley Rose, the "flamboyant, self-styled con man," who ran a book shop frequented by many of the writers and who himself finally went straight, becoming a literary agent, is almost satisfying.

He plans to stay there when he returns to vote on Election Day. In the hotel coffee shop, a visitor can buy a religious record or a book of Bible stories-or a tumbler emblazoned with Ford's image.

Accompanied by prodigal Ballerina Suzanne Farrell, 31, who had rejoined the Balanchine troupe after a 4½-year stint with the Bejart ballet in Brussels, the dance master made a trip to the jewelry shop of Van Cleef & Arpels. The reason: Balanchine's dazzling ballet Jewels, which had its French premiere last week, had been inspired 15 years ago by Claude Arpels, president of the jewelry company's Fifth Avenue branch.
