...hard to match, but even so, Apollo 8 Command Pilot Frank Borman has had some rarefied moments on earth since reentry. Last week, for instance, a European tour took him from Buckingham Palace to the Elysée Palace to a dinner with Belgium's King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola. Borman proved himself a deft diplomat. In England he pointed out that Apollo's fuel cell was based on an invention by a Cambridge scientist. In Paris he praised French Science Fiction Author Jules Verne in a personal letter to his grandson, Jean-Jules Verne. After an audience...
...soul bag. Jones version of soul is three parts sweat and a half-part swivet. On the premiere, he was finished off by his continuity writers, lusterless Songstress Joey Heatherton, and Comic Richard Pryor, whose contribution was a tasteless impression of a Negro preacher. Even more painful is The Queen and I (CBS), a situation comedy whose plot is Bilko at sea. Very much at sea- the Queen being an ocean liner headed for mothballs.

Eugene Paul Getty, son of Oil Billionaire J. Paul Getty, also lives in Marrakesh.

...killed 26 and injured 85; one crewman was missing. It was not extinguished for three hours and 21 minutes (though it was under control after 41 minutes). Back at Honolulu, 1,500 civilian and military personnel lined up outside of the U.S. Army's Tripler General Hospital and Queen's Medical Center in response to pleas for blood. Soon after the gutted ship returned to port, a team of damage experts boarded her and, after viewing the gaping deck holes, decided that the seven-year-old, $444-million carrier would have to return to the mainland for extensive...
...something like a school reunion: it's nice to see the old classmates again, but each time the participants find that they have less in common. Of the 28 Commonwealth members represented at the ten-day conference that ended in London last week, a majority no longer recognize Queen Elizabeth as their sovereign, several have left the sterling area, scarcely any regard their citizenships as interchangeable, and only two (Australia and New Zealand) still display the Union Jack on their flags. The only thing that seemed to unite them was that each had at least one grievance against...
