Though a working lad, Tony is no hornyhanded proletarian. A graduate of Eton and Cambridge, where he won his blue as coxswain of the 1950 crew, Tony served his apprenticeship under the late society photographer known as Baron, a close friend of Prince Philip. On assignment from the Tatler, Tony managed to inject into his pictures of society dowagers and hunt balls a touch of lightheartedness. His first commission for the royal family, in 1956, was a 21st birthday picture of the Duke of Kent, which helped bring the era of stiff, formal pictures of royalty to an end. Tony...
...Baron, 23, a chemical engineering major (he has since quit school to give full time to the business), and Ray Keche-ley, 22, majoring in business administration, were won over by Dr. Poindexter's offer to screen applicants without a fee. Even the scheme's sponsors were surprised by the applicants' qualifications: fully half had some college education, and about 20% had college degrees. In their case histories could be found the whole gamut of emotional illnesses. Some were still on active follow-up treatment; others were taking only tranquilizers.

It seems that lightweight Novelist Barbara (Love Is the Enemy) Cartland had visited the exclusive Mayfair beauty salon...
...baron has been taking time-off from his three souvenir shops to run his Olympic candidates out to the ski slopes in his Studebaker. The top candidates for the three-man team are all named Kindle: Silvan Kindle, 23; his third cousin Hermann Kindle, 24; and Gebhard Kindle, 21, no kin. The Kindle Kinder train hard. Liechtenstein has no ski lifts; the husky young Olympians must hike up the steep Alpine slopes on foot. All of them work in factories, ski only on weekends. "That's the Olympic idea," says Baron von Falz-Fein. "Do sports for your pleasure...
...says he, "and if there are any amateurs in America, they will be ours." One problem still vexes him. U.S. promoters, apparently expecting little from Liechtenstein's skiers, have asked that he bring Miss Liechtenstein to the United States to spruce up the scenery. "Where," asks the noble baron, "do we find a pretty girl here? We are a country of peasants. If I held a beauty contest, the Chief of Government would send me straight to prison...
