He treated his $25-a-ticket patrons to a truckload of turkey and Alaskan salmon, a 38-piece waltz-playing orchestra, and decor featuring 25-ft. tall columns from the set of La Traviata carted over from the San Francisco Opera. Those folk who tend to sniff at such goings on could adjourn to the Cocteau Room, where the walls were covered with protruding noses...

Last week he was to have married another young Englishwoman, Georgiana Webb, 25, whose parents own a country restaurant (Ye Olde Nosebag) east of London. During the kidnap turmoil, the wedding, of course, was postponed-although a truckload of flowers arrived incongruously at Yorktown nevertheless.
