...first producer, William Frye, was allocated the highest series budget in the history of TV-nearly $8,000,000 for the 1969-70 season. That bought not only Lana but also George Hamilton, who seemingly has given up his escort service for serious acting ("Commitment," he proclaimed last week, "is 90% of life"). Some $200,000 was spent on the set-four times the TV average -and another $100,000 on wardrobes, $50,000 of it for Lana.

Alfonso the Magnanimous of Naples, for instance, was a king so loved that he could walk the streets of his capital without an escort -during a century when neighboring Rome reached a reported average of 14 murders a day. Gentle Guidobaldo da Montefeltro of Urbino liked to ride through his duchy with a band of trumpeters, drummers and Italian bagpipers spreading harmony as he went...
...escort for her first official White House party, a masked ball, Tricia Nixon chose the capital's newest Congressman and most eligible bachelor, Barry Goldwater Jr. Blessed with his father's strong-jawed good looks, young Barry is nothing if not a romantic figure, and he and Tricia made a handsome couple as they danced to the beat of the Turtles and the Temptations.
