...organized confusion, New Orleans was like an all-night block party. Shirtsleeved crowds jostled down Canal Street, as the motorcade crawled across the balmy night - through the French Quarter and on toward St. Louis Cathedral. At the head of the parade, invited but unexpected, rode Louisiana's Governor Earl Long in his own convertible. Ole Earl, less than a year away from his revolving-door visits to a clutch of psychiatrists, beat time with his straw hat when he could hear the band. On the reviewing stand he showed up once more to chat with the visitor, once grabbed...
...civic luncheon next day Ole Earl was back again, slipped into a chair next to De Gaulle and began to jaw into his ear. De Gaulle turned away and appeared to hear nothing.

...friends and family, the more uneasy they became at the burgeoning of eccentricities. Tony has two stepmothers, one an actress presently married to an Italian lawyer named Giuseppe Lopez, the other a former airline hostess. (His mother, sister of Stage Designer Oliver Messel, is now married to the Earl of Rosse.) Also distressing is the zest with which foreign newspapers are exploring Tony's lively past. Last week the Paris France-Dimanche reported that Tony is expected to get rid of such old friends as a Hindu guitarist, a bistro owner, assorted models and cover girls, noted that...
