...armistice, lost its original meaning when it was converted to Veterans Day to commemorate the end of all U.S. wars. Even patriots of Italian descent admitted that the day, Oct. 12, on which Columbus "discovered America"-actually the British Bahamas-could be considered flexible. It derives from the old Julian calendar and would be Oct. 23 in the new. Similarly, Washington's birthday was originally recorded as Feb. 11, since the old-style calendar was still in use when he was born...
Coolidge was born a Boston Brahmin (his father Julian Lowell Coolidge was a mathematics professor here) and looks it. Still handsomely distinguished at 54, he looks and talks like the epitome of a well-bred gentleman.

...favors garish antique clothes. For her wedding in a Roman Catholic church (Harlech's children were raised in his wife's religion, but he is an Anglican), which she planned without informing her parents until the day ahead, she chose a mid-calf Victorian model.

The regime of Colonel-turned-Premier George Papadopoulos hinted that it would make some surprise announcements, perhaps including an amnesty for many of its 2,500 political prisoners...
...stay at the East Side apartment of a family friend, John Hay Whitney, former U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's-nice enough digs, but quite a switch for Alice, who will have to leave behind her 175-cc. B.S.A. motorcycle and all her swinging siblings: Julian, 27, a London film maker and male fashion model; Jane, 25, wife of a Carnaby Street boutique owner; Victoria, 21, granny-style dresser and folk-rock fan; and Francis, 14, who rides his own 350-cc. bike...
