Wine note: The bars of Monaco already are out of French champagne, due to the presence of 1200 advance men covering the Grace Kelly-Prince Rainier wedding.

He ordered 1800 bottles, each bearing his crest, redesigned to include the bride's Initials, "GK." Fashion Note: When Ben Gaz-zara opened in "Hatful of Rain" he dressed the way his Actors' Studio colleagues dress blue jeans, no tie, windbreaker. Then he met Elaine Stritch, who humored him in this symbol of free expression but with patience, succeeded in effecting a change. After all, a man can be a fine actor and still dress well and Gazzara no wis a fashion plate.
