Last week they faced - and over came - the greatest challenge since their financial fortress was created at Bretton Woods...
Constancy, thy name is Rudy Vallee, 63. On Oct. 13, the onetime Vagabond Lover will complete his third full year on Broadway as J. B.

Cubans who remember them in the 1920s and '30s paint a picture of a hard, avaricious father, Angel Castro, and his bitter, complaining, common-law wife, Lina Ruz. Angel started by selling railroad ties to United Fruit Co., soon bought into a sugar-cane property, expanded into cattle, built himself a general store...
...culottes and jump suits among them. Dressed-up pajamas all, most are sold with tops and accompanying overskirts; available in fancy fabrics like embroidered lace (by Courreges, for $800) as well as lighter weight silk jersey (by Pucci, for $210), Fortrel and cotton (by Sportwhirl, for $35) and Arnel knit (by Loomtogs, for $36), they bloom with checks and flowers, glitter with pearls and gold, or stand out like the moon, all white and stark.
