Pamela Digby Churchill Hayward Harriman, Democratic Party power hostess, widow of multimillionaire Averell, and currently U.S. Ambassador to France, has always been fiercely protective of her wealth -- every last dollar, every last dime. Now, money is at the heart of a legal battle between Harriman and Averell's descendants by his first marriage -- two daughters, six grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. The scions of the late Governor charge that his second wife, who inherited most of his estimated $65 million legacy, has wasted the $30 million of their trust funds on ill-advised investments, leaving them with a relatively paltry...
...Herman, the show has all the snap and style one remembers from Gower Champion's original production, which won a record 10 Tony Awards (Channing beat out Barbra Streisand's performance in Funny Girl). Exceptfor its confused and too hasty resolution, Michael Stewart's book -- about a meddlesome, matchmaking widow -- craftily melds song and dance. Corny?

"They left because of the economic problems," she says...
...Wagner at all, but he will probably choose his second wife, Gudrun, 50, formerly a festival secretary. That solution would follow tradition. When the composer died, his wife Cosima succeeded him for 23 years, then handed control to her son Siegfried. After he died in 1930, his widow Winifred continued in his place until after the war, when, publicly disgraced for her idolatry of the Nazis, she relinquished the festival in favor of Wieland and Wolfgang. Will there be a fight over Gudrun? As surely as the Rhinegold is cursed...
