...issue, Industry Minister Anthony Wedgwood Benn stands in greatest danger of being hoist with his own petard. It was Benn who in 1972 first proposed the Common Market referendum. At the time, opinion polls were reporting a solid 2-to-1 antiMarket majority. Benn saw the referendum as an ideal vehicle to propel himself into leadership of a populist left-wing movement that would assert its supremacy over the pro-Market establishment in the Labor Party. With the help of enormous and largely hostile press publicity, he turned the referendum into a plebiscite on himself as well...
...Jackie Kennedy's finishing-school polish, later Twiggy's innocent charm and the tomboyish Ali MacGraw. But increasingly women refuse to accept anyone else's beauty package. Today the one standard left is the camera's unblinking eye. Margaux is a photographer's ideal, and despite the trend to diversity, hers is the face of a generation, as recognizable and memorable as Lisa Fonssagrives and Jean Shrimpton. When Margaux has her hair wet and slicked back, Photographer Francesco Scavullo thinks she looks Etruscan. Says Designer Halston: "She has all the components to become a modern...
...Andy Warhol's gossip sheet Interview defined a new figure in society: the millionette. Now these "rich young brats" have succeeded café society, the jet set and the beautiful people as social pacesetters. To emulate them, however, requires a lot of loot.

The wedding luncheon was given by Mrs. Joseph Goebbels, and the honored guests included Adolf Hitler, who saw Diana as "the ideal Nordic woman." At the time, Hitler was a close friend of Diana's sister, Unity Mitford, whose active infatuation with Nazism ended in a botched suicide attempt at the outbreak of World War II. Even though Mosley had pledged to fight against Germany if England was attacked, Churchill prudently had him and his wife interned for 3½ years as possible...
...first called "my son" by his father after the old man caught his act as a drag queen. As anyone who saw Follies could guess, a Michael Ben nett dance takes the parade-ground drill of the Radio City Rockettes and raises it to a Platonic ideal. As a dancer-cumactress, Donna McKechnie is an un crowned star. But just to indicate the medals that the entire cast has earned, they have collectively appeared in 88 different productions, in which they have given a total of 37,095 performances. If they were polled, they might vote A Chorus Line...
