With Princess Grace and the children waiting in Monaco, all set for an oceangoing holiday, Prince Rainier, 40, flew to Amsterdam to take possession of his new 290-ton, $694,000 yacht Albecaro II, named for little Albert and Caroline. But before officially presenting the ship to Rainier, Shipbuilder Herman Kerstholt and 80 guests took it for a gala trial run in the North Sea.

Bad luck still plagued Jimmy at the start of the 1963 season: his gearbox suddenly seized while he was leading the Grand Prix of Monaco. Then, on Memorial Day, Clark tried his hand at Indianapolis in a specially built Lotus-Ford, came in second in a controversial race many people think he should have won. He has not lost since.

...only dabble in stamps to the considerable number of absorbed adult collectors who spend at least $1,000 a year. Harmer's alone last year turned over $3,000,000 worth of stamps by auction or private sale. Several small nations that philatelists consider particularly interesting-including Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino, the Vatican and lately Ghana-depend on selling their stamps to collectors as a way of replenishing their treasuries.
