Parents and police are thoroughly aware of the important role the teen-age club plays in keeping the youngsters off the streets and out of mischief. "If I wasn't here," said one ducktailed Boston club patron last week, "I'd be out stealing hubcaps." For the ordinary teen-agers with less tendency to delinquency, the clubs' value is more positive: like San Francisco's Claudia French, teen-agers across the U.S. are finding food, fun and, most important, friends under one companionable roof, designed especially for them...

This week the Pretender will get back to Estoril just in time to celebrate his 49th birthday. A few days later, there will come a flood of guests-friends, political supporters, monarchists of any ilk-for 31 the formal celebration of the feast day of his patron saint, San Juan Bautista.
