...principal complaint against Margaret is that she has embarrassed the royal family by carrying on a more or less open dalliance with a younger man, without seeking a divorce from her estranged husband, Lord Snowdon; the two have been separated since March 1976. The princess first met Roddy in 1974 at a house party in Scotland. As her marriage to Snowdon cooled, Roddy began making ever more frequent visits to Kensington Palace, Margaret's London home. Later the princess and her new companion made a series of unchaperoned holiday visits, without her two children, to the languid Caribbean isle...

Now the prognosticators of Detroit think they are being vindicated. Though a downturn in the last ten days kept March sales from catching up to those in the same month a year earlier, they came within 1.4%. Even better, sales of 883,000 U.S.-made cars and 192,000 imports during the month work out to an annual rate of 11.5 million cars. Says Lee lacocca, the peppery president...
