...their cozy three-room suite to rest up for the gala White House dinner Saturday evening. The swanky soiree for only 79 guests, certainly the hottest ticket in town, was a mixture of glitz and ritz, power and talent. The guests included Actors Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck and John Travolta, Dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov (who was seated at Diana's right), Architect I.M.
