The New York Times bureau had its "So long!" party for the departing Bernard Weinraub last night. Someone who was there said the cocktail soiree, held at bureau chief John Broder's Westwood home, drew a mix of Hollywood and NYT names. Making the trip from New York were said to be culture editor Jonathan Landsman, columnist Maureen Dowd, business writer Geraldine Fabrikant and movie editor Michael Cieply. The Hollywood figures included Brian Grazer and his wife Gigi Levangie Grazer, Nora Ephron and Nick Pileggi, Donald Deline of Paramount, Jeff Berg of ICM and producers at Sony Lucy Fischer and Doug Wick. Weinraub's wife, of course, is studio topper Amy Pascal. A select group reportedly adjourned to the Weinraub-Pascal's for dinner afterward.
