...even her brief forays into public view made grown men gush. "She's got the whole world to go to," exclaimed Lexington Mayor Scotty Baesler, who greeted the Royal Air Force VC10 at the airport, "and she's coming to Lexington!" Ever a Briton, the Queen carried her own black brolly through the drizzle and immediately decamped to Lane's End Farm, the 1,400-acre estate of her host, Horse Breeder William Parish III. A Humble Oil heir, Parish met the Queen while in England for a polo match. Indeed, the theme of the trip...

Two weeks ago, Antony Rushford, a Briton who was appointed by the Commonwealth to be Scoon's legal adviser, abruptly left Grenada after attacking the Governor-General as "quite unfit" to help restore democracy to the island.

The program goes on to examine the origins of the Man of the Year and the phenomenon of early-years TIME style, with its backward-running sentences and punchy neologisms, like "tycoon" and "socialite," which are now part...
When TIME first appeared on newsstands in March 1923, not even the brash, energetic 24-year-olds who had co-founded the magazine, Henry R. Luce and Briton Hadden, could have predicted that it would spawn one of the world's largest communications empires. As Time Inc.
