Viking princes have claimed the sea as their domain since the days of Leif Ericson, and Norway's debonair Crown Prince Harold, 27, has salty blue in his veins. A deep-water sailor from the age of eight and Norway's kingpin skipper for the past decade, Harald was named by the Royal Yacht Club to represent his country in the 5.5-meter yacht class at the 1964 Olympics. Sailing the Fram III, designed by U.S. Master Draftsman Bill Luders, Harald is rated a good bet for a medal of some sort, but it had better be gold...
...debonair, autumnal 65, the Duke still thrives on 20-hour days that begin at noon and end at dawn after a night of composition at the piano. He keeps up his composing regimen even on tour, and many recent additions to his enormous output are directly inspired by his travels. The bridge between his early Bird of Paradise and his recent Little African Flower spans more than 1,000 compositions, among them such triumphs as Mood Indigo, Solitude and Black, Brown and Beige-and though his form has expanded radically, his substance has never drifted far from jazz. "Le jazz...
Died. DeLesseps ("Chep") Morrison, 52, longtime mayor of New Orleans (1946-61) and Kennedy's ambassador to the Organization of American States (1961-63), an ebullient, debonair politician who spearheaded a reform movement to bring trade, industry and an honest police force to his city, but could never quite carry his messages to Louisiana at large in three unsuccessful campaigns for Governor; in the crash of a chartered plane carrying six others, including his seven-year-old son, Randy; near Quajolota, Mexico...
...Josef Cardinal Suenens, 59, the debonair and witty Archbishop of Malines-Brussels and primate of Belgium, had his hardest (and finest) moment at the University of Chicago Divinity School, where he spent two days fielding questions from his Protestant hosts, including prestigious Theologian Paul Tillich. "The most difficult examination I've ever faced," he said. There and elsewhere, Suenens predicted that new medical research might call for new applications of the church's teaching on birth control. He also suggested that after the Vatican Council the church might take the first steps toward cooperation with Protestant and Orthodox...
Active Member. The Queen calls the Prince "Bernilo," and he calls her "Julie." He is as slim and debonair as she is shy and plump. At 52, he has long since overcome the handicap of being German by birth, is one of the busiest men in the kingdom, sits as an active member of the boards of Royal Fokker Aircraft, Royal Netherlands steelworks and KLM (in the interest of fairness, he serves only on the board of companies that have no Dutch competitors). Not only is he his nation's most effective representative abroad, but he also provides...
