...raising. The hospice charges no fees, and only one-third of the (pounds)3 million (roughly $5 million) annual budget comes from the government-run National Health Service. Once a world traveler, she now stays close to home so that she can minister to her ailing 87-year-old husband, Polish Artist Marian Bohusz-Szyszko. She has always studiously avoided the spotlight cast on her more famous contemporary, Elisabeth Kubler- Ross, the author of On Death and Dying. "I am not a cult figure," she once angrily told an adoring American...

But former Matron Helen Willans insists that since Dame Cicely was married for the first time eight years ago, "she has been a much happier person."

Angela has a cute son, but the kid runs a three-card monte game in the backyard. Her home must have been decorated by Wheel of Fortune: all the furniture and appliances are studiously ugly, and half of them are still in crates. As she tells...

Barbara Bush seems to have sensed this when she warned her husband not to let Nixon saddle him with the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee. This was during the shake-up following Nixon's re-election in 1972, when Watergate was a faint underground rumble.
