Britain's bonny Prince Andrew, 6, last week took delivery on a little number from Aston-Martin. It does 6 m.p.h. flat out and can stop on a lollipop. The automaker's $11,000 gift is a scaled-down model of that piece of incredibilia James Bond drove in Goldfinger. Tooling around the playgrounds, Andrew can be in constant contact by two-way radio with headquarters at either Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace. There is also a radar warning system with a three-mile radius, a protective bulletproof shield, and the punch of a button can send...
What Mommy wants is to be one up on Daddy-always. Of course, Daddy can be trying. He keeps a lemon-blonde lollipop of a mistress around the place, and sometimes gives her a lick, right in front of Mommy. Since they are all unloving and unloved, no one is hurt. But the pomposities of the dialogue can be pretty wounding: "The sky is pocked with stars," "I've spent two years on every street in hell...
...Lollipop & the Dunk. A lot of him there was, too. Even in high school, basketball is a giant's game. New York City alone has 50-odd high school players taller than 6 ft. 5 in.-but Power's Lew Alcindor, at 7 ft. 1 in. and 235 Ibs., is a giant among the giants.

In practice, he stands idly under the backboard sucking on a lollipop, dropping ball after ball into the 10-ft.-high basket-without...
...rarely paints smaller than 4 ft. by 4 ft. Yet he does not want machinelike perfection. "I'm a one-shot painter," he says, and in his Bridge he deliberately left the splatter of orange on yellow. Noland dares to parallel magenta, russet, beige and maroon in a lollipop war of taste. Sometimes he rams and jams his bright color bands into asymmetrical chevrons like a Disneyland sergeant gone askew...
Last week the doctor-lawyer asked for a new trial on the grounds that "the verdict was contrary to the evidence." As lawyer, he faced the problem that the jury was assessing the danger not of one unusual lollipop, but the possible danger of countless ordinary cigarettes to a "significant number" of people; as doctor, he must have realized that for all the convincing statistics pointing to a relationship between smoking and lung cancer, the tobacco companies can still point to millions of people who smoke and do not contract the disease...
