With her nurse and her federal guard in tow, Caroline attended a birthday party fortnight ago for three-year-old Ivan Steers, son of Jackie Kennedy's stepsister, Nina Auchincloss Steers. It was a bright, sunny day in suburban Bethesda, Md., and the party was outdoors, beside the Steers's swimming pool. While Caroline's nurse was changing, the other nurses and mothers helped Ivan's guests into their bathing suits; Caroline got suited up faster than anyone else. She slipped into the pool at the shallow end, grabbed a kiddie-sized surfboard and began...
...Russian strong-arm men, euphemistically described later as "unofficial" members of the company. "I won't go!" he screamed. The gorillas grabbed him. But Nureev broke away and raced for the airport bar, screaming "Protect me! Protect me!" to airport police. The police took him in tow, and despite warm persuasion from half a dozen Soviet embassy employees who rushed up, Nureev demanded political asylum.

While the two Presidents discussed affairs of state, Jackie raced through her favorite city in the firm tow of the grandmotherly Mme. de Gaulle.

During his campaign in Brooklyn, Frey staged six crashes (by sending one wreck at the end of a tow rope hurtling into another), but the calculated carnage was a minor incident in his tireless pursuit of sound. Audio Fidelity's Frey, 40, has already trapped a hurricane (Donna), recommissioned an obsolete steam engine, provoked a Great Dane to vicious complaint, wooed mewing seagulls with a boxful of chicken guts, eavesdropped...
Exotic Menu. The ordeal over, Elizabeth and Philip recessed for lunch along the Narayani River. The exotic menu: black partridge, florican crane, wild boar shashlik, shredded venison curry. Then they went after bigger game: a female rhinoceros, spotted plodding through the jungle, calf in tow. Prized by poachers (who grind the horns into a powder that is valued as an alleged aphrodisiac), the one-horned rhino has almost disappeared from Nepal. But Marksman Home was not to be denied. With the help again of Bonham Carter and Adeane, he quickly dispatched the lumbering beast, left its calf to fend...
