...grandmother, 80-year-old Dowager Queen Victoria Eugenia, ended 37 years of exile (most of it self-imposed) to fly in from Nice for the baptism. His grandfather, Don Juan de Borbón y Battenberg, 54, the pretender to the throne, interrupted a Caribbean cruise to be on hand. Also present was Sophie's mother, Queen Frederika of Greece. But the one that Spain was watching the closest of all was its own Caudillo Franco...
Olympic Prince. Franco, on the other hand, seems to favor Juan Carlos, who is now 30, lives in Madrid and is much more tractable than his father. At Franco's behest, the handsome Prince has been getting a full course in the government of Spain. He holds commissions from all three Spanish military academies and is now making the rounds of all Cabinet ministries, learning the ropes in long sessions with each minister. Juan Carlos also sees Franco from time to time, and the Spanish press is sometimes allowed to portray him as a popular hero. An avid sportsman...
...calls an election or the Conservative Party forces him to the polls. Already, campaign committees for Trudeau have sprung up in many cities, and a straw poll shows him leading other contenders for the nomination in five Toronto constituencies.

"I knew Périllat's time," Jean-Claude said afterward. "I figured I had the race in hand." He did. His body tucked low to cut down wind resistance, he was a blur in blue as he slashed through the turns and flashed down the long schuss at something like 70 m.p.h. Crossing the finish line, he slammed to a stop and looked up at the timing board...
...mean ads with a sense of entertainment and humor. One of Benton & Bowles's most successful TV ads, for example, features the bull-necked Korean who played the karate expert Odd Job in Goldfinger. Seized with a coughing fit, he nearly chops down his house with involuntary hand swipes before a swig of Vick's Formula 44 cough medicine calms him down. Even Ted Bates & Co., perennial champion of the hard sell, is going soft. It has dropped the sledgehammer animations it long used to illustrate (and often give) headache pain, and has turned instead to mildly preposterous...
