...when he died at 88 in 1959.

A keener student of the tax game, the late auto heir and playboy Horace Dodge, who died at 63 in 1963, took it all with him and more. Unable to get along on his $150,000 yearly income from a trust fund, Dodge managed to borrow at least $10 million from his mother, Mrs. Anna Thomson Dodge, 99, to bankroll his wining...

...rank of U.S. science-fiction writers. And a recent magazine poll showed that a way-out Asimov trilogy written in the 1950s about the universe of the future is still rated first in popularity among science-fiction fans.

The newer formula includes fashion, fiction, personal and beauty advice and fan articles on teen heroes-mostly recording stars. The blend varies, but all the mags strive to respond to their readers' letters...

Never one to pass up a publicity play, Linda allowed her daughter to don bikini bottoms and pasties with dangling disks for a picture spread in Men, Italy's equivalent of Playboy. Romina, a slightly sullen girl who combines traces of baby fat with the dark good looks of her father, reacted like a real trouper; when the makeup man had difficulty applying the pasties, she said: "Hurry up, will you?
