...Laurence Olivier, 54, Britain's towering trouper, and his Tony-winning third wife, Actress Joan (A Taste of Honey) Plowright, 32: a son, their first child and his second (the other, by First Wife Jill Esmond, is now 24 and roving in the Far East); in Hove, East Sussex...
Returning to Newport last week, the Kennedys went all out in their vacationing. There were daily luncheon cruises aboard the presidential yacht Honey Fitz.

Last week, after taking 29 days to travel the 65 miles, and warming up with a few shots at villages along the way, the army hove to outside Vang Vieng, 880 strong. They laid down their usual barrage, the Communist defenders fled, and the attackers moved in almost without incident (though one lieutenant shot himself in the foot...
