...Pacific) Hayward, 57, showed how he earned the description given him by a friend. A few hours after he was divorced by his third wife, Nancy ("Slim") Hayward, in Las Vegas, he married Pamela Churchill, 40, ex-wife of Sir Winston's fustian son, Randolph. Pamela, daughter of Baron Digby, had been reported friendly since her divorce from Randolph with a Rothschild, a Fiat executive and a U.S. TV oracle. Says a (female) friend: "She is a quiet, appealing temptress with a soft, lovely voice, who plays up enchantingly to men. She just can't help being...
...earliest literary critics, handsome Novelist Pamela Hansford Johnson, whose books, largely about marriage and the private worlds of modern people, are less ambitious but far better crafted than her husband's; her most recent: The Unspeakable Skipton, a witty, waspish caricature of the famed adventurer, "Baron Corvo." The Snows share a ten-room London flat and a 6½-year-old son. Snow likes to be in the worldly swim and throws parties conspicuously free of fellow novelists.

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. Some were rated as fully rehabilitated-except...
