"I am greedy. I want to live while I'm alive," French Cinewaif Leslie Caron, 33, told Hollywood Columnist Sheilah Graham. Sheilah understood, but Leslie's husband, Director Peter Hall, didn't. Filing suit for one of those messy British divorces, he named Cinemactor Warren Beatty, 27, as the man with whom she had committed adultery in Chicago, Jamaica and Beverly Hills. Blue eyes somber beneath her gamine bangs, Leslie flew in to London from Paris to see her children, Jennifer, 5, and Christopher, 7. At Hall's request, a London court had barred her from taking them out of the country.

How ya gonna keep him down on the farm when he's out on $140,000 bail (and appealing his three mail-fraud convictions)? It's more than ordinarily tough when the country boy is Texas Fizz Kid Billy Sol Estes, 39. A 24-ft. sign now rising over an El Paso building reads "Billy Sol Estes, Importer and Exporter of Fine Products," and though Pecos Bill is listed only as an "employee" of the shop (one way to avoid a stampede of creditors), it looks as though he is starting up for real in the Mexican scrape and sombrero business. A yellow sunburst on the sign, lit with 476 flashing lights, will surround the well-known, smiling face.

East Potomac is a neighborhood golf course that Washington Post Cartoonist Herblock, 54, likes to waffle around on. Westerner Stewart Udall, 44, thinks of conservation in terms of wide open spaces, not a metropolitan nine holes. The twain finally met, however, after the Interior Secretary okayed plans to build a parking lot and aquarium on the course, bringing an anguished letter from his friend Herb challenging Stew to a friendly round, "because I want him to see the course from a player's viewpoint." Udall shot a 46 to Herblock's 51, but the loser scored a tactical hole in one at the ninth. Flushed with triumph, Udall announced, "You were right and I was wrong. What we need is more golf courses."

Her memory, at 83, isn't quite what it once was, and she does have her quirks, such as keeping a Manhattan mansion vacant and boarded up on a $6,000,000 plot at Fifth Avenue and 61st Street. No matter. She is Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge, niece of John D., childless widow of Munitions Heir Marcellus Hartley Dodge, and in doughtier days she played hostess to the world's largest one-day dog show (4,456 entries in 1939) at her 500-acre estate in Madison, N.J. Today, she mothers 40-odd pedigreed German shepherds, retrievers, bloodhounds, beagles and a poodle, and kennel costs--nothing but prime cuts will do--ran to $50,000 in 1963. Her guardians want to put the mutts on soup bones, but a Manhattan judge ruled let them eat steak. Mrs. Dodge, said he, has so many millions that the savings from cheaper dog food would hardly be noticed.

Thousands packed the Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin shores, and more than 100 small boats followed in pursuit, as three contenders puffed along in the first commercial riverboat race on the upper Mississippi in modern times, a six-mile feature of the Dubuque summer festival. The tug Coal Queen took an early lead, but the Mary soon pulled ahead, leaving the excursion liner Julie N. Dubuque II to finish third. Owner of the Coal Queen was Iowa's poet of the pajama game, Author-Playwright Richard Bissell, 51, a Harvardman you can always tell will go along gamely with whatever the city fathers dream up. His wife vowed they would win next year, and Bissell grimaced, "Hope springs eternal, but those new engines are going to cost me a lot of money."

Helen Keller celebrated her 84th birthday in Easton, Conn., and though she no longer writes or lectures, she is, reports a friend, a woman "of great dignity, who is growing old with grace."

Subtle, processional monumentality, raved admirers. Instant Stonehenge, snapped critics of the proposed Franklin D. Roosevelt monument, eight huge slabs in a cluster, engraved with passages from F.D.R.'s speeches. Washington's Fine Arts Commission, which took the anti-druidic view in 1962, has now finally approved the design after some changes were made, including the addition of an 18-foot-tall statue of the President. But the memorial still didn't pass the last roundup. At a Hyde Park meeting, Anna Roosevelt Halstead, 58, James, 56, Elliott, 53, John, 48, and Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., 49, unanimously voted firm opposition. "We don't like it," said James. "And I'm sure father wouldn't either."

"Anyone who has threescore years and ten resents it," growled Edward, Duke of Windsor, vetoing cake and candles for his 70th birthday dinner at Maxim's. But somehow he seemed anything but resentful. At an 18th century costume ball for 600 given by Countess Sheila de Rochambeau at her chateau outside Paris, the duke in lace jabot and Royal Stewart tartan kilt danced the night away with his duchess, an enchantress ablaze in shimmering red cloak and white feathered wig designed by Yves St. Laurent.
