Hailwood leaned forward along the M.V.'s gas tank, resting his chin on a sponge rubber shock absorber, hiking his legs up like a jockey. He rocketed through "The Bungalow"-a series of left and right bends-at more than 100 m.p.h., steering by shifting his weight from side to side. Flat out on the straights, he gunned up to 150 m.p.h. Hailwood sped six times around the twisting course and flashed across the finish line more than 2 min. ahead of his closest competitor. Astonished officials announced that he had broken the course record with an average speed...
Newlywed Rockefeller, returning from an 18-day honeymoon at his Venezuela ranch and at Brother Laurance's comfort able Virgin Islands bungalow, told greeters at Idlewild airport that he was "very happy to be back."

Every year, Buck Rabbit gave Doe Rabbit $125,000 in spending money, about $40,000 worth of jewels-and, presumably, all the Camels, Winstons and Salems she could smoke...
Extra-special guests get extra-special treatment, including the literal red carpet rolled out to greet them: three beds of tulips were planted in anticipation of the visit of The Netherlands' Queen, Juliana, thoughtfully came into bloom around her bungalow the day she arrived. A teapot was kept under 24-hour surveillance in Indonesia President Sukarno's room, should he want a spot at any time. And to a bungalow sometimes occupied by Eccentric Millionaire Howard Hughes, midnight requests for odd items-once, it was only an upside-down cake-are promptly delivered. The hotel boasts that...
