Died. Diana Churchill, 54, eldest daughter of Sir Winston, a quiet blonde who saw her first marriage, to a South African gold-mine heir, go on the rocks within months, her second, to Tory Politician Duncan Sandys (now Commonwealth Relations Secretary), end after 25 years in 1960, reverted to her maiden name and devoted her time to the Samaritans, an organization that tries to dissuade would-be suicides from taking the final step; by her own hand (barbiturates); in London...
Rusk for President. In selecting Home, Macmillan passed over three far more likely candidates: R. A. Butler, 60, deputy to Britain's last three Conservative Prime Ministers, rebuilder of Tory Party fortunes and everlasting heir apparent to the No. 1 post; Lord Hailsham, 56, the grandiloquent Minister for Science, who gaudily flipped his coronet into the ring, emotionally promising to renounce his title to become Quintin Hogg, M.P., in hopes of becoming P.M.; and Reginald Maudling, 46, the darling of the Conservative backbenches and brainy Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Trained in operations and maintenance, Keck believes in as much personal contact as possible with the line's 32,000 employees. He is considered the heir to Patterson, whose association with the line, says one United official, "will end on the day he is buried." Keck is a golfer and a devoted gardener who also delights in socializing with his family. One of his two daughters, Leslie, 23, is a stewardess for, of all things, competing...
...Europe, Latin America, Canada and Australia. The leading figure in this family company is Liliane Schneider, who at 61 is tall, erect, smooth-skinned and almost as handsome as when she starred in such French film confections of the 1920s as The She-Goat with Golden Feet. Liliane married Heir Charles Schneider in 1931, started working at his side in 1942 and succeeded him as co-manager of Schneider after his death...
