The final chapter began to unfold last week in Newport, R.I., where jury selection was nearly completed in the trial of Claus von Bülow, 55.

When each December he sets out to service The old, the young, the cocky, the nervous, The yachtsmen, the hoopsters, and even the bowlers, Claus depends on the wisdom of air traffic controllers!
