...statement proved somewhat exaggerated. But if Lisbon's sprawling, 500-year-old African outback wasn't being liquidated last week, it was certainly under siege-together with its neighbor and partner, South Africa. Having called the Security Council into session, the 32-nation African bloc demanded that 1) Portugal get out of her colonies of Angola, Mozambique and Portuguese Guinea, and 2) the world help throttle South Africa's apartheid regime.

"She was forever asking me to tell her stories about life in London," recalls the neighbor. "I spent hours telling her about her dreamland...
...ball." Since then, the ball has continued, more or less, and so has fame. At the Cassius C!ay fight at Wembley Stadium last week, there was a sudden flurry as a glamorous woman swept to her ringside seat. "Is that Christine Keeler?" asked a spectator. "No," said his neighbor, "only Elizabeth Taylor...
