ARLENE DAHL HAS BEEN A BELOVED figure in the motion picture industry since the 1950s, and since she married the packaging designer Marc Rosen 31 years ago, the two have splashed continuously in the crème de la crème.

Rosen has now published a book of memoirs, really quick impressions of memorable moments, called Rubbing Shoulders. He sketches his interactions with what used to be called The Beautiful People, such as Grace Kelly (pictured above with Prince Rainier III on her first-ever visit to the Grimaldi palace in Monaco.) The book is a charming excursion into the past, full of dish and full of gossip.

THE MOST WIDELY COVERED MURDER TRIALS in the 1980s were both in Rhode Island, and the defendant in both was Claus von Bulow, charged with attempting to off his wealthy wife Sunny at their Gilded Age mansion in Newport.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT the 147 FBI agents probing her possibly criminal behavior while Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton goes into her Scarlett O’Hara impersonation: “Fiddle dee dee, ah’m not a bit worried about that silly ole investigation.” But the opposite is true—she’s terrified about what to say when she is called in for interrogation under oath. It could ruin everything.

Some of her closest advisers are telling her that while no course of action is palatable, obtaining a preemptive pardon from President Obama right away might do the least damage to her in the long run. It would stop FBI Director James Comey (above) in his tracks.

Will Obama grant it? Will Hillary accept it? If she does, can she still compete for and win the nomination? The stakes are high.

JITTERY STAFFERS at Hillary Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters have gone into full panic mode, in the wake of five straight landslide losses to Bernie Sanders and the candidate’s plummeting numbers in three national polls.

“This was the worst week so far in the campaign,” said a Democratic party insider, “and everybody is blaming everybody else for the setbacks. Bill Clinton called (campaign chairman) John Podesta (once his White House Chief of Staff) and screamed, ‘Those snotty-nosed kids over there are blowing this thing because nobody is listening to me.’”….

AFTER MONTHS OF ACRIMONY–basically a clash of egos—between Four Seasons Restaurant owners Julian Niccolini and Alex von Bidder and their current landlord Aby Rosen, the gastronomic mecca will be leaving the Seagram Building on July 31st, after 57 years, and there is a surprise in store for Rosen (shown above, between Niccolini and von Bidder).
