Visiting Hours. At Buckingham Palace, Princess Margaret came bounding back from a weekend in the country, and went racing up the stairs to see her nephew. There were gifts to be opened, sheaves of telegrams to be acknowledged (the palace post office reported a record haul of 4,100 on one day), including one from President Truman, one from the Pope and one from General Eisenhower. "We are particularly happy," wired Ike, "because the birthday of the prince is the same as that of Mrs. Eisenhower." A six-foot battalion commander of the Home Guard sent a sweater knitted...
...local group is the idea of Michael Linenthal '37, a Cantabrigian, and Gerald Savory, an English-born Playwright-actor. The two men met in 1947 when Mr. Linenthal's Woodstock Summer Theater was presenting Mr. Savory's play, "George and Margaret." Deciding that this was going to be one civic organization run on a real business-like basis, they innaugurated last year a series of gala cocktail parties where they managed to peddle $40,000 worth of shares to some 3,000 interested citizens.

Mr. Linenthal describes it as a "pleasant and amusing" play. That much could also be said for "Claudia" and "I Remember Mama," two immense successes--but they do not belong in repertory. There is an uncomfortable suspicion that "George and Margaret" may not either...
...Saturday night,, the doctor had moved into the palace to stay. On Sunday the King tinkered with his cameras and tried to read, while Elizabeth, under the watchful eye of her nurse, Helen Rowe, and her maid, Margaret ("Bobo") MacDonald, sat around and listened to the radio or telephoned friends. At 6 p.m., just after the family tea, Elizabeth's pains began. Nurse Rowe rushed her to the delivery room and summoned Sir William. Within an hour three more doctors had slipped into the palace by the electricians' gate in the rear. Philip went moodily down to knock...
