...Monday luncheon klatsch by a small group of Tory bluebloods who were upset by the changes they felt were sweeping through Harold Macmillan's government. Today the group is chaired by Merchant Banker Jonathan Guinness, 43, member of the famed brewing family and a stepson of Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of Britain's fascists in the 1930s. Monday Clubbers in 30 chapters throughout Britain are now actively engaged in trying to beat back all sorts of permissive schemes and to return the land to the old ways of imperial certitude...
...become the newest enthusiasm of the Bored-and-Beautiful, and its star-pointed game board has moved from the exclusive gaming rooms of Europe to the casinos of Las Vegas and the crowded parties in Hugh Hefner's Los Angeles mansion. Hefner and his friend Barbi, Bridge Star Oswald Jacoby, Ari and Christina Onassis, Prince Radziwill, Polly Bergen and Jill St. John have all discovered the social charms of backgammon: it is easy to learn, fast and exciting to play, and an enjoyable way to win, or lose, a lot of money...

Our culture seems to be providing more and more channels for what Dietrich Bonhoeffer called "cheap grace," personal fulfillment, or the illusion of it, with no trial...
ASSASSINATION attempts used to acts of stealth, committed with as few witnesses as possible. But ubiquitous television cameras have helped to change all that. Last week, in a chilling echo of the attacks on George Wallace and Lee Harvey Oswald, a slim, thirtyish man in a dark suit tried to stab to death the beautiful, popular wife of Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos, and millions of people watched it live and in color or in replays. Television crews, assigned to cover Imelda Romualdez Marcos, 43, as she presented awards in a national beautification and cleanliness campaign, caught the entire action...
