...evidence everywhere were the King's bodyguards, four swarthy, husky men in short, blue, lace-trimmed jackets, each carrying a sef (sword), khanjar (dagger) and pistol, all of which, Abdullah Balkhair explained, were merely ceremonial. They stood in sharp contrast to a few others in the party, beneath whose traditional robes reporters spotted signs of a more modern dress; one Saudi's robe flapped open to reveal a powder-blue ensemble-silk sports shirt buttoned at the neck, double-breasted blue zoot suit. The best and saddest scene-stealer of the group was sloe-eyed Prince Mashhur...
...nearly 11 o'clock, one mild, foggy night last week, when a squad of cops deployed cautiously around an old, grey, lace-curtained house at 17 Fourth Street in the factory district of Waterbury, Conn. After the guards were set, plainclothesmen walked up the steps and pounded loudly on the front door. The downstairs lights winked on, and stocky, smiling, pajama-clad George Metesky, a 54-year-old bachelor, answered the knock. His two elderly spinster sisters watched warily in the background. George never lost his polite grin. "I think.'' he said after a few preliminary questions...
...Iron Petticoat (MGM) is practically a remake of the old Greta Garbo-Melvyn Douglas comedy about how Lenin's glass-of-water theory is vanquished by Hollywood's slipper-of-champagne theory, and the world is saved for black lace undies.

Bob Hope, a major in the U.S. Air Force...
...Then McCarthy shot his real bolt of news: he. 47, and his pretty wife Jean have adopted a five-week-old baby girl, their first. Is Joe sick, on the verge of resigning from the Senate? Declaring his candidacy for re-election in '58, the Senator offered to lace on "eight-ounce gloves," take on anyone who believes he is flagging...
...left and right on the teetering Christian Democratic government of Premier Alcide de Gasperi. The Communist daily L'Unita, eager to slander the U.S., hooted at her as a "comicopera ambassador." A rightist magazine hailed her arrival with a full-page cartoon of an American flag trimmed with lace. Last week when Clare Luce, 53, resigned as ambassador, it was perhaps the most meaningful tribute to her work that L'Unita, now representing a splintered, vastly weakened Communist Party, confined itself to a one-sentence notice without editorial comment. And the monarchist-fascist press, spokesman for a disappearing...
