...left sit four actors (Max Adrian, John Barton, Paul Hardwick. Dorothy Tutin) in evening dress, their only props a coffee table with decanter and water glasses, large leather-covered books to scribble in with quill pens, and a portable lectern. At stage right stand a harpsichord, a piano, a trio of skillful balladeers and their accompanist, who provide a harmonic counterpoint of period music to the proceedings. The actors read letters, poems and memoirs by and about royalty, together with historical reminiscences and profiles sketched by hard-eyed courtiers and literary greats from Malory to Jane Austen...
...ornate Paris hotel room, a trio of men, all but lost in a crowd of artists and their works, peered at canvases spread before them and then at one another. "You like?" boomed the tall one with the familiar face. "I like. We'll buy the lot," said the one in the short sports coat. The third man, in a dark suit, scribbled checks.

Hank Jones remains his idea of a really good pianist, and for the trio he hopes to form eventually, he would like Hank's brother Elvin on drums and Detroit's Major Holley on bass...
Looking more like Great Danes with manes, a trio of hip-high horses arrived at Idlewild Airport from Argentina. They were bound for the McLean, Va.. home of Bobby and Ethel Kennedy as a Christmas surprise for their seven children and Ethel's relatives. Hearing about the horses, and feeling an urge to expand the Kennedy menagerie (present occupants: four dogs, 20 rabbits, one guinea pig, one donkey), Ethel shot off an order to Argentine Breeder Julio Falabella. who claims that his herd of 350 is unique. Sturdy enough to saddle up and ride, the midget horses have...
