...seen both at Courreges in Paris and on Princess Meg; Ace Photographer David Bailey, 27, professional associate of Antony Armstrong-Jones; and Doug Haywood, 28, Chelsea's "in-nest" private tailor. The conversation revolves about the evils of apartheid because the waiter has brought a pack of South African cigarettes, but it lacks heat, since everyone agrees that Verwoerd is a boor. Besides, the big concern of the group is the Chelsea soccer team's match, scheduled for this afternoon. They are the team's most ardent rooting squad, meeting every Saturday for lunch and the trip...

Today the Mafia seems to have agreed to live and let Dolci live, although he has given wide publicity to telling statistics-such as that in one village Mafia murders since 1945 outnumber the village's dead of both world wars. As for the Roman Catholic Church, Dolci is now a "lapsed Catholic," and he blames the breach on the "lack of a tradition of charity, even on the level of almsgiving" of the church in Sicily.
