...former husband of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' younger sister Lee; of an apparent heart attack; in Essex, England. A British citizen who claimed descent from Polish kings, Radziwill fled his native land during World War II when the Soviets imprisoned or killed several members of his family. The toothbrush-mustached prince, a naturalized British subject since 1951, became a highly successful London realtor. He met Lee Bouvier Canfield in 1957. After divorcing their respective mates, they were married in 1959, and one year later Radziwill campaigned in U.S. Polish communities for his brother-in-law, Presidential Aspirant John F. Kennedy...

The walls are neatly papered with church directories, to worship at the place of your choice, which in this case was every Lutheran Church within 100 miles. No temples. Also, shelves packed tight with ancient copies of Reader...
...pundits like Rosemary Kent at Harper's Bazaar enjoy exposing kaleidoscopic legs at dinner parties and at the theater. Says Kent: "The socks are campy and chic, and are as important to have as a Gucci belt or a Cartier watch." Or, at the very least, a mink toothbrush...
