...protested coyly that she was suffering from fallen fanny. Actually, former Alabama First Lady Cornelia Wallace looked fetching at 40, wearing a stunning white décolleté bathing suit and water skis for her appearance in an aquaballet at Cypress Gardens. Wallace, who trained as a water-skier at Rollins College in Florida and spent a year skiing professionally at Cypress Gardens, returned to participate in a special program marking the 50,000th water show at that Sunshine State tourist attraction. Wintering at Palm Beach this year, she still water-skis as often as she can, but that...
...settings are truly lovely-symmetrical Palladian porticoes, marbled rooms with glowing frescoes and statuary, formal gardens opening on cypress-dotted vistas. Losey scatters the action of the opera over every photogenic square foot of them. Characters grope endlessly down pillared corridors, wander around outdoors and are unaccountably set afloat on gondolas. Consecutive scenes shift disconcertingly from nighttime to broad daylight and back again. Most of the music is lip-synched to a prerecorded track; inside or out, wind or rain, we hear the souped-up ambience of the recording studio.

Egypt, Morocco, the Bahamas and now Mexico. With yet another welcome mat yanked away, Cuernavaca was the latest stop for Iran's deposed Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, Wife Farah, Son Reza, 18, and their royal entourage.

Henry Kissinger, for one, certainly believes they should...
...gear would not have to be moved very far. Nixon's $80,000 federal pension, plus royalties from memoirs and television appearances, still enables him and Pat to live quite comfortably. They will soon move just one mile from San Clemente to Cypress Shores. A $650,000 five-bedroom home in this private compound has been acquired by Pal Charles ("Bebe") Rebozo, who plans to sell it soon to his old friends from the pleasant days in Florida and Washington...
...traditional settlement" far from the hubbub. These communities are all chosen because they have retained their original color; the refurbished houses rent for $105 to $350 a week. One such settlement is a fishing village at Fiscardo, on the unspoiled island of Cephalonia. The village, surrounded by cypress-clad mountains, has many small beaches and an atmosphere reminiscent of its piratical past. A double room in a private house is $9 a night. Restaurants serve traditional Greek dishes (moussaka, roast lamb in lemon), as well as fine lobster and the celebrated Robola wine ($2 a bottle). An increasingly popular island...
