...formal occasions she wears hatty hats, motherly dressmaker suits, and for a handbag-a majestic holdall." The pussycats of London's fashion press were helping Britain's Princess Anne celebrate her 16th birthday with some swipes at her clothes. "All those conventions of British royal dress have been decanted on her," complained the London Sunday Express's writer, though conceding that Anne does have "the young idea when she's off duty." Well, did that mean miniskirts? Not at all. In Jamaica with Prince Charles for the Commonwealth Games, she made the scene in a pair...
...most Westerners, the Berlin Wall is a brutal monument to Communism's need to imprison its subjects. Not to Walter Ulbricht. Last week East Germany's Red boss, after studiously ignoring the first four anniversaries of the ugly barrier that divides the city, openly celebrated its fifth birthday with a speech that made one wonder why he had not erected it years before.

In honor of the anniversary, this year's festival has one of the most stellar lineups in its history. Violinists Alexander Schneider and David Oistrakh returned after several years' absence; Pianists Rudolf Serkin, Wilhelm Kempff and Julius Katchen took leave from crowded schedules to perform. It was a sentimental journey tinged with apprehension. "When a musician is almost 90," explained Katchen...
Though a light rain and jet sky gave the thickly planted court the macabre air of a Hawthorne novel, some 100 persons turned out to mark Herbert Hoover's birthday (Aug. 10, 1874), the annexation of Hawaii (Aug. 12, 1898), and the patenting of the washing machine (Aug. 9, 1910). There was little else to celebrate...
