...Femme Fatale. That way, Abernethy is convinced, is to change the company's image. American has set out to strip the Rambler of the stodgy, maiden-aunt, economy image nurtured during George Romney's reign, and to surround it with the sporty accouterments and glamour that sell autos. Restyled Ramblers have already lost their boxy lines and blossomed forth in hard-tops and convertibles, with bucket seats, floor-mounted gearshifts and even a big, 8-cylinder engine that is definitely not economical. The fastback Marlin, introduced last March, is as sporty a car as Detroit manufactures today...
...famed photographers whose works are displayed in a show at Huntington Hartford's Gallery of Modern Art in Manhattan, and among his best are moving shots of poor and elderly Britons. However, Lord Snowdon, 35, gets those when he goes on charity missions with his wife, Princess Margaret. Glamour is still his forte.

"I'd enjoy meeting your son," says Meredith. "Naw-you wouldn't," grumbles Wayne, eying the lad across a messroom with eloquent distaste. Other scenes crackle comfortably: O'Neal cravenly having his backbone slapped into shape...
...imported polo teams from abroad to lend glamour to the place, and put them up all winter at his expense. Once he had a great idea for a motorboat race-he built eleven boats, all exactly to the same specifications, and invited eleven of the best auto-racing drivers to race them, with the stipulation that they would not be allowed to practice or even get in the boats before the race. On the great day six of the boats sank in collisions, but the publicity contributed handsomely to the new resort's perennial aura of spectator glamour...
