...escapades. Under his real monicker, Igor Cassini, 47, was on kissing terms with the Kennedys; his brother Oly is Jackie's favorite dress designer, and his third wife is the daughter of Oilman Charles B. Wrightsman, the Kennedys' neighbor in Palm Beach, Fla. Such weight did he swing that he was instrumental in having Diplomat Robert D. Murphy sent on a secret White House mission in 1961 to listen to the laments of the Dominican Republic's Dictator Rafael Trujillo, then wilting under U.S. sanctions. Naturally, Igor tagged along, too. But now the private line is disconnected...

To scholars, snobs, statusticians and society hostesses, nonetheless, the 103rd and fattest-ever edition of Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage is an invaluable, intriguing gazetteer to the proliferating aristocracy...

"We approach philosophy from the scholarly, not the apologetic point of view," says Professor Lawrence Lynch, head of the department. "We have a course...
...Grande from Brownsville. Unloaded under U.S. customs supervision into bonded tanks, the oil is transferred into tank trucks, which immediately set off on the eight-mile run to the Gateway Bridge between Brownsville and Matamoros. Once they reach Matamoros, the trucks make a wide U-turn and swing back onto the bridge, where U.S. customs officers now accept their cargo as Mexican oil imported by overland means. Forty minutes after the trucks are first loaded, they are back at the Brownsville docks, where their cargo is ultimately loaded aboard U.S. tankers headed for East Coast refineries...
