...suggest or guess who the choice should or will be. One letter wryly suggested that our 1967 choice should add a chapter to last year's and celebrate People Married 25 Years. The run of facetious and semi-facetious suggestions has included Girls Who Look Good in Mini skirts, The Beatles' Guru, the Sands Hotel Vice President Who Slugged Frank Sinatra, and Sgt. Pepper.
