...crowding into fancy nightclubs like the Chateau de Ville in Framingham, Mass., where as many as four dances may be going on in one evening, and the management hopes that the girls will come back some day for their weddings. Around Long Beach, Calif., one of the most popular prom spots is aboard the Queen Mary, now serving as a floating hostelry in her genteel retirement. The ballrooms of the onetime grande dame of the North Atlantic are crowded with ten or so dances a week, and the demand is so high, says Scheduler Ann Hunter, "that we are already...
...supreme commander of Ian Smith's tough but makeshift security force is Rhodesian-born, Sandhurst-trained Peter Walls, 51, a dour disciplinarian but popular with his troops. Walls' baptism of fire took place after World War II in Malaya, where he learned counterinsurgency techniques. Walls has publicly stated that there can be no military victory over the guerrillas without a political settlement that provides the country's blacks with tangible economic gains. He has also declared that he and his army are ready to "serve under any Rhodesian government"-presumably including one headed by blacks. Meanwhile, though...
Bracelets and Diets. Contrary to popular notions, arthritis-which afflicts millions of Americans-is not a single disease, but a collection of ailments characterized by a common irritation of the joints.

Thus prudent travelers have for years sought the guidance of an agent. Today the fast-talking cigar chomper of popular cliche has been replaced by a more sophisticated pathfinder, a Sherpa of the subclause who is a combination salesman, packager, legal scholar, investment counselor and spiritual adviser. The archetype is, of course, the legendary Irving ("Swifty") Lazar, still going strong at age 70, whose clients have ranged from Truman Capote to ex-President Richard Nixon...
MARVIN JOSEPHSON, 50, appears to be the antithesis of the popular image of an agent, but, unlike many of the modern breed who prefer euphemisms for their trade, he readily admits he is one. Soft-voiced, genial, unhurried and conservatively dapper, he launched International Creative Management in 1955 with $100 in capital and two clients, Robert Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) and Newscaster Charles Collingwood. Since then, Josephson has built I.C.M. into a $30 million-a-year multinational company, embracing agents, a concert-booking bureau and a TV station. His 2,250 clients include Actor Laurence Olivier, Playwright Tennessee Williams, Musician Isaac...
