...news came from the sunny Adri atic island of Brioni, 340 miles from Belgrade, where the 75-year-old Tito called together a 155-man plenum of the Yugoslav Central Committee to name names and prefer charges. The leading plotter turned out to be Tito's erstwhile heir apparent, Vice President Aleksandar Ranković, 56. Tito accused his former guerrilla lieutenant of "conspiracy" to undermine Yugoslavia's economic reforms, of encouraging "damaging activity" by the state security police, and-most shocking-of bugging Tito's own home. Within eight hours Ranković had resigned, and-while denying...
...couple had been praying for a child ever since they were wed in 1960. The devout husband even made a pilgrimage to Lourdes. All to no avail-until last week, when Belgium's King Baudouin happily announced that his beloved Queen Fabiola, 38, expects an heir to the throne this winter. The news was kept a strict secret until the fragile Queen had passed her critical third month, since she had been bitterly disappointed by three early miscarriages in the past.

Kennedy and Albert Einstein adorn the current occupant's office. So does a Larry Rivers impressionistic landscape of Manhattan's Second Avenue, a scene so remote from the pastoral America of Taft...
...grocer's bag of whims and interests, one of A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford's most earnest pursuits is graphology. Few persons, from financiers to fiancees, ever get close to Hartford without passing his handwriting test. Most of all, he likes perfectionists -people who make their d's Greek-style, from the bottom up after an initial downstroke. Yet as a businessman, Hartford sometimes works from the top down. He has emptied treasure into such disparate ventures as Show magazine (sold for a $7,000,000 loss), Manhattan's Gallery of Modern Art (annual deficit...
