With elephantine dignity, the helium-filled balloon finally landed in a wheatfield in the village of Miserey, 50 miles west of Paris. By then, hundreds of cars had roared onto the scene, and villagers were sprinting to welcome the trio of adventurers. As they arrived, the Americans popped the cork from a bottle of champagne and began toasting their feat and each other. Ben Abruzzo, 48, Max Anderson, 44, and Larry Newman, 31, all from Albuquerque, had just completed a historic first crossing of the Atlantic by balloon, making the 3,100-mile trip from Presque Isle, Me., to Miserey...

...Lincoln Center, where Singer Betty Carter-a vamp of a figure in black lace with a husky, sweet-toned voice that recalls Billie Holiday -was singing a tribute to the blues. "I must have music, music," Carter, 48, half crooned, half spoke, swaying to the beat of her trio with eyes closed. Throttling down to slow, slow low notes that seemed to float in the air forever-the crowd hanging on breathlessly-she would suddenly take off, sliding up the scale as fast as any sax to land on a sultry, slightly off-center note.
