...These boudoir details appeared last week in London's lip-smacking Sunday Pictorial under the byline of William Charles Ellis, 51, boss of a pub in Hertfordshire called the Plough and Dial but, until last November superintendent of the Queen's weekend home, Windsor Castle.

The $1 anniversary issue carries $1,040,000 worth of ads, and articles that are hardly for hairy-chested males or boudoir bounders: musings on his craft by Poet Robert Graves, blasts against conformity by Educator Robert Hutchins, and the early thoughts of Playwright Arthur Miller on his forthcoming movie about street gangs. Gone are the busty girls...
