...Queen Anne-Marie's 19th birthday, and King Constantine, 25, celebrated it with her and seven-week-old Princess Alexia at his rambling hilltop villa on the western island of Corfu. Then he had to leave the party and fly back to his Athens palace for yet another attempt to resolve the seven-week-old parliamentary crisis...
...75th birthday in July, Stengel fell and fractured his hip. Doctors told him that he might never walk properly again, so Casey, who has been quietly salting it away for years, decided to go home to his bank (the Valley National of Glendale, Calif.), his "dozens" of oil wells, his stock portfolio, and his six-story office building in Glendale.

As he gazed at the "people eater," the combination close-up camera and teleprompter that all but obscures the President from his audience, he looked...
...rivals is a departure from tradition. Such direct identification of competition has long been a rarity, and advertisers have gone to almost any length to avoid it. Now a steadily growing number are coming right out and naming names, thus bringing on bad times for Brand X. Happy Birthday. Dodge dealers in the East and Midwest recently ran a radio campaign that openly wooed "you guys and gals who are bored with Ford." A current magazine ad for Hudson's Bay Scotch shows a dozen other brands, advises that "now that you have acquired a taste for Scotch...
