...princess by her blood and by her beauty," cooed Lisbon's largest daily, O Século (circ. 110,000). "and she reflects tenderness and joy." Not since Britain's Queen Elizabeth graced the country two years ago had Portugal so eagerly awaited a guest. And Britain, too, had high hopes for Princess Margaret's "private visit" to England's "oldest ally": her appearance at the Federation of British Industries' $3,000,000 fair in Lisbon might do much to woo Portuguese trade away from the Germans. But by the time Margaret's visit...
Battle Royal. It was, in fact, one of the worst fiascoes in the annals of royal touring, and it began the very moment Princess Margaret alighted from her plane at the airport.

She was paired with Akihito in a mixed-doubles match with other members of the Tokyo Lawn Tennis Club. Michiko displayed grace, stamina-and lace panties quaintly peeping out from under her "Michi-style" tennis suit...
Twice divorced (most recently from Singer Marion Hutton), Humorist Douglas, 50, who opens this week as one-man funnyman in a nightclub act, has a ready answer to questions about who his next wife will be. "Princess Margaret, of course," cracks Douglas, but his previous choices are on his mind too. He has netted more than $10,000 in the two months since his book was published and moans: "I can see the ex-wives closing in now." Says Jack Paar: "I think it would be fair to say that Mr. Douglas does all his writing under the influence...
