...works shown no longer exists; it was a series of projections from a machine called Clavilux, which its inventor, Thomas Wilfred, has since dismantled. Fortunately, before doing so. he photographed the projections. Not an easy thing to do, as our lensmen learned when they tried to focus on the moving, blinking, flashing machines. Said Photographer Frank Lerner: "To give the idea of light in motion was a difficult assignment because there is no such thing as a norm." He repeatedly went back for retakes; his subjects never looked the same. "I came back so often that I began to feel...
Since the Earl of Snowdon used to earn his living on the other end of a camera, he grinned obligingly as he and Princess Margaret deplaned for Customs and milling lensmen and diplomats last week in New York.

But times do change, and in Hampstead the Prime Minister obligingly teed off to cozy up his image. It was billed as a pause in the day's grind. "I unwind quickly in the fresh air," Wilson offered, adding, in case the photographers couldn't tell: "I'm not very good at golf." Feet too close together, knee locked, arms carefully flexed, he poised to driver, ah, maybe it was supposed...
