...same year he married Neile Adams, a dancer-singer in Pajama Game. On their way to the church, he and Neile were doing 100 m.p.h. when two cops stopped them. The fuzz officially witnessed the wedding. Today, on his frequent romps up the California coast, Steve guns his Jag up to 140 and keeps it there. But he is more than a domestic menace. He is a big-league racing driver too. Like Stirling Moss, he was once a paid member of the British Motor Corp.'s racing team...
...Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The W.W.C.T.U. was holding its 22nd triennial convention in New Delhi, India, and President Jarrett soon found that there was work to do. She was going to Jaipur to help her colleagues snuff out that city's consumption of potent jag mohan (110-proof) and gulabi (rose petal liquor). Her substitute for the boozy brews: "a creative recreation program for young people which will enable them to know what beverage alcohol is and what it does...
...things about the presidency," observed the smiling gentleman farmer, "is the way you have to be prepared to jump, just like a mountain sheep from one jag to another."

Its appeal: with a top speed of 150 m.p.h., it compares with Italy's hand-tooled Maseratis and Ferraris in both pace and grace (to use Jag's favorite ad words), yet at its U.S. price of about $6,000 costs only half as much. The Mark X at its basic British price of $4,592 (to which the British Government adds a hefty $2,106 tax) also undersells competing sedans by a wide margin...
...brooding boop-a-dooper has had bad luck with maids and pets, and so she lives alone in her bird's nest. She wakes up at 5 a.m. and drives the Jag- she hates cars-diffidently to the studio. At night, if she has no date, she paints ("almost always little girls," says a friend, "and they almost always end up looking like her") or sits in her red swing and listens to 1920s records. On weekends, she does dutifully the chores of a not-yet star: she packs up her 40-lb. dress and dances the Charleston...
