Divorced. By Edwin Russell, 52, publisher of the Harrisburg Patriot-News; Iris Paine Russell, 40, wealthy descendant of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt; on grounds of "incompatibility of character"; after 18 weeks of marriage (which took place last October, just 24 days after he was divorced by her second cousin, Lady Sarah Spencer-Churchill); in Juarez, Mexico...

The politicking got off to a turbulent start when toughs...

Later this month, Pontiac showrooms will have the sporty new Firebird, which has the same body shell as its G.M. cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro, but is four inches longer. The standard Fire bird is more powerful than the Camaro (165 h.p. as compared with 140 h.p., though both offer optional 325-h.p. engines), will cost "a little more" than Camaro's $2,466 and come equipped with an inflatable spare...
