...since the 11th century, when its owner, Macbeth, murdered King Duncan in his sleep, had there been such anguish at stately Glamis Castle in the chilly hills of Scotland. A fire broke out in an uninhabited wing, was extinguished by the local fire department before it engulfed the cozy apartments where Queen Elizabeth once romped, Princess Margaret was born, and the Queen Mother's family have lived for some 600 years. The Earl of Strathmore, the castle's present guardian, tried to brave the flames to rescue his Labrador puppy, then thought better...
Unscrewed Seats. In Northern executive suites, the directors of chain stores wrung their hands in anguish, decided to do nothing. (Negroes account for at least one-fourth of all business transacted in the 300 Southern branches of Woolworth's alone.) Local managers solved the problems in different ways: in Charlotte, the proprietor of the local McLellan Store unscrewed the seats from the lunch counter.

Forced to sit by while the pencil reporters got first crack, Los Angeles TV newsmen staged another walkout-to "Pat" Brown's speakable anguish. "You people have absolutely no right to do this," he cried. "I am the Governor of the state of California, and I have things to say to the people of California." In Massachusetts, Governor Foster Furcolo once carried segregation so far as to answer the same question four times-first for the pencil newsmen and then...
...Ronald Knox (Little, Brown; $5), Biographer Waugh guards his friend's privacy like a medieval moat; whenever the book becomes personal, it is full of private jokes. Waugh's portrait is curiously Graham Greene-like, with Knox's outward urbanity masking a certain amount of inner anguish, his scrupulous conscience making him uneasy at any ease of faith...
