...Manhattan's new El Morocco last week was crowded enough to be Paradise, but with not quite the same crowd that the clergyman had in mind. Sequined, sheathed and chinchillaed, they made up such a jam of international jetters that there was scarcely room for another square-cut diamond. There wasn't room, in fact, for Princess Lee Radziwill to get in the door; the bigger Begum Aga Khan managed it, but she had to have a table set for her on a landing of the stairs...

Arnie Palmer ought to be a cinch for a Master Mariner's badge after the six strokes he took in the surf and rocks off Pebble Beach, Calif., last January.

One notable case is the company's new anti-virus drug, Symmetrel, which derives from a compound of organic chemicals that has a uniquely diamond-shaped molecular structure and is called adamantane. First formulated by a pair of Yugoslav scientists in 1941, adaman-tane had long been a laboratory curiosity around the world-because of its unusual structure-when Du Pont asked its men to search out uses...
