...Britain, France and Russia imposed monarchy on Greece after it won independence from the Ottoman Empire. In 1862, after forcing the abdication of the first king, a Bavarian prince named Otho, the three powers offered the throne to Prince William of Denmark, who became George I of Greece, the first of the Glucksburg monarchs...
...four children: Lionel, 14, Beatrice, 13, and Nicola, 2; Daughter Dominique, 21, recently made him a grandfather. Andre has a habit of taking long walks and practicing his trumpet deep in the woods. Early one morning after a concert in Munich, Andre drove out to a meadow in the Bavarian woods and began blowing. Three men armed with rifles suddenly ran toward him furiously. They were hunters who had been lying in wait since dawn; Andre had scared off the first deer of the day.

Russ Togs recently began to produce a "Save the Species" line of women's sportswear, which at contributions of 100 to 250 per garment should bring the fund at least half of the $100,000 that it expects to collect from the program this year. That will make up about one-sixth of the fund's 1975 program budget...
