...Dear Mum." The case began on an August night in a cornfield off the highway, 20 miles west of London. There Gregsten, a married, 36-year-old research physicist, was parked with his girl friend, Valerie Storie, 23, a lab assistant. Suddenly a gun-toting man forced his way into the car and ordered Gregsten off on a wild drive through the countryside. Finally tiring of the joyride, the assailant had Gregsten pull the car off the A6 highway at a roadside parking area known as Deadman's Hill.

"Rather fun," said Queen Mum. while being snapped in an already famous photograph. After she had departed the Fleet Street sanctuary, the club secretary commented, "She was very expert; you can tell that she's played before" a supposition subsequently confirmed by a press aide, who classed her a pretty fair player...
...about its Samos program. Samos was quite frankly designed to be a "spy in the sky"-a satellite carrying telescopic camera equipment that could take pictures of the whole earth. But then came the U-2 incident, sky spies became unpopular among diplomats (if not among military men), and mum became the word for Samos. Last week, the most the Air Force would admit, even unofficially, was that the orbiting Samos contained "test photographic and related equipment...
