...princess in a world desperately looking for diversion from inflation, devaluation, unemployment, revolution, coups, wars and death." European Correspondent William Rademaekers' assessment of Princess Caroline of Monaco's special appeal applies more or less equally to Margaux Hemingway and the ten other young women chosen by TIME'S bureaus round the world as the collective subject of this week's cover story. For varying reasons-looks, talent, what Margaux would describe as the "snappin' " zest for life that she and Deborah Raffin have brought to modeling-all have arrived on the scene with their...
...application was politely shunted aside. Nonetheless, with the help of his wife Princess Shirley and their three sons-Postmaster General Ian, 28, Foreign Minister Wayne, 25, and Treasurer Richard, 21-Prince Leonard is still printing his own currency and stamps. He is also establishing foreign trade (largely through the sale of his stamps). He hopes to give a more monumental appearance to the province's capital, whose growing population (now 30) is presently housed in half a dozen unimposing brick and cement buildings. Hutt River already has its own flag, its own anthem and its own coat of arms...
...Princess Grace would rather not, thank you very much, think of her daughter Caroline, 18, as a millionette. "She is a very levelheaded girl," says Grace. Mom notwithstanding, Caroline is a natural ornament of any smart set. She is charming, mercurial and regal, a Grimm heroine who has all of Europe wondering what she will do next, and hoping against hope that she will only settle for Prince Charles.

...star's candle power, the dimmer the biographer need be. As proof, see Donald Zee's Sophia (McKay; $8.95). By now, Sophia Loren's ascent from the rubble of Naples to the gold of Carlo Ponti should be as familiar as the tale of the princess and the frog. But to Zec, a British journalist, each incident, each phrase, is worthy of a marble bas-relief: " 'Sometimes I felt I wasn't having the baby for Carlo; I was having it for the world,' smiled Sophia." After such reportage, an audience cannot be blamed...
Swallowed Pride. The Massies display touching and deep appreciation for those who helped them escape from this paralysis-among them the doctor who defied tradition to teach them how to handle Bobby's transfusions at home and the calm Russian princess, now living in a New York suburb, who had played as a child with her hemophiliac cousin, the doomed Czarevitch Alexis. But the book does not mince words about the American medical system, which tends to hinder rather than help hemophiliacs. The Massies' anger is understandable. American blood bankers, by and large, have done little to bring...
