London's strangest drama of the summer season continued in the Bow Street Magistrates' Court last week. Michael Fagan, 33, the unemployed laborer who had stunned Britain by wandering into Queen Elizabeth's bedroom three weeks ago, was brought into court for a bizarre 17-min. bail hearing. (Bail was denied.) At the same time, a Scotland Yard investigation of the affair revealed just how somnolent the Queen's protection had been during Fagan's peregrination through Buckingham Palace...
DIED. Dave Garroway, 69, hornrimmed, bow-tied founding host of NBC's Today show; by his own hand (shotgun); in Swarthmore, Pa. Today's producers were looking for a dynamic personality in 1952 until Garroway sold them on "a lean-against-the-ladder, go-to-sleep-standingup guy like me." Of his style, he once said, "I talk right to the camera as if it were the one other single person who is here with me."

...encounters: a woman who finds the youth's awkward innocence sexually and emotionally attractive; the summer job that does not work out. For a few bewildering hours Daniel parades up and down a street dressed as a giant peanut, his view limited by a slit in an oversized bow tie.

" When Ishmael Jaffree, a Mobile attorney, discovered that his three grade school children were being led in such classroom prayer, he sued. Jaffree last week expanded his suit, challenging the constitutionality of Alabama...
Incredibly, according to the intruder's lawyer, Fagan had been inside the palace once before, although he never made to the twelve-room royal apartment. He was arraigned last week in London's Bow Street court on a single charge from his earlier visit: stealing half a bottle of wine. There was speculation that authorities had hoped to hush up Fagan's ultimate incursion, but the incident was revealed three days later when a tipster alerted the Daily Express. The intrusion led to a bruising question period in the House of Commons. Home Secretary William Whitelaw, lamely...
