...from her Cap d'Ail villa. Sir Winston Churchill and Maria Callas, the prima of prima donnas, cruised offshore in the yacht of Greek Shipowner Aristotle Onassis. The young Aga Khan, fresh from Harvard, kept happy a chateauful of guests, including pretty Tracy Pelissier. Belgium's King Baudouin holidayed solemnly at Cabassol with his sister Princess Joséphine-Charlotte and her husband, Prince Jean of Luxembourg. The week before, Adlai Stevenson had been playing tennis at St.-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Moviemaker Darryl F. Zanuck and his good friend, Chanteuse Juliette Greco, were...
...that's Paola," said the young Roman princess haughtily when the visiting Prince Albert of Liege, younger (25) brother of Belgium's King Baudouin, made his first discreet inquiry last November. "She is nice, but so shy that you hardly know whether she's around or not." By the time Prince Albert got back from Rome after attending the coronation of Pope John XXIII, all the world knew that Paola was around.

Instead, riding in an open limousine, the King made a 15-mile tour of his capital city, where hundreds of police...
Abhorred Cutaways. The next day King Baudouin again broke with the past by holding Belgium's first royal press conference. As more than 100 reporters munched cookies, sipped champagne, and smoked the King's own crested cigarettes, Baudouin moved affably among them, freely offered heretical opinions and answered questions. Of U.S. newsmen he said: "They establish instant, familiar relations with their important guests, which is. you will admit, far different from our traditions, so I had to adapt myself quickly." Were Americans materialistic? "I found them idealistic." What about court protocol? 'I abhor cutaways. They should...
