Rest assured, said the London insurance broker, "any ordinary boy of this age would have great difficulty in getting insurance coverage for a car like this." As it was, the underwriters were only too honored to cover Prince Charles, 19, all proper and legal-like as the owner of his first car, a six-cylinder, 127-m.p.h. MGC-GT. The car cost $3,120-out of the Prince's own pocket-and boasts such embellishments as an electrically controlled aerial and a leather-covered steering wheel. It has a bull horn that has already caused mumbles in the Noise...
Challenges to both laws have now reached the Supreme Court, and last week the nine Justices listened while lawyers for both sides presented oral arguments. The New York case involved the conviction of a store owner for selling four girlie publications, and when Justice Brennan pointed out that two of the magazines-Sir and Escapade-had previously been ruled non-obscene, Prosecutor William Cahn responded that while they may not be obscene to adults, they are to children...
...contests are competitive, most oil companies keep the results secret, and players have no way of knowing how long the odds are. But they are trying all kinds of gambits to make them shorter.

Marveled the Daily Mail: "London has become an Anglo-Saxon version of an Eastern bazaar, where Continentals admire our traditional quality, pity our poverty, wonder aloud how we can do it at the price, and pay in currencies...
Joan Crawford, who will be 60 years old on March 23, still has as pretty a set of gams as any actress in films. She displays them right up to the pelvis in the costume she wears as ringmistress and owner of an English circus, in which a killer at large perpetrates a parlay of improbable murders. One high-wire artist is garroted by his wire, another is skewered on a bed of bayonets, the manager gets a tent spike neatly through the noggin, and a Lady-Who-Gets-Sawed-in-Half gets sawed in half. In between, the usual...
