Ever since he reluctantly divorced Queen Soraya in 1958, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, Shah of Iran, has been window-shopping through Europe. In his search for a new bride who would present him with a son and heir, the Shah's wandering eye was caught by Italy's pretty Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy, 19. But the Vatican, all Italy, and the girl herself proved unalterably opposed to the marriage. Last week his capital of Teheran was alive with signs that the Shah had found both happiness and the bride he wanted in his own country...
...with the traditional Cane Walk, in which the juniors parade around the campus wth bought ($1.30) or borrowed canes that symbolize the advancement from a wise fool to an to an upperclassman. A pep rally followed that night. On Friday night the Junir Prom took place, replete with Prom Queen and all the trappings. The fraternities made posters for the Navy football game, and a group of blazered, skimmered Penn humorists trotted out a she-goat with a sign saying, "Betty-Mistress of Bill."

Even after the mystery came back to the U.S., through the first two decades of the 20th century, crimes were committed in the grand old English manner. Murder was still a puzzle, and whether S. S.

Brought together to benefit Columbia University, and sponsored by President Eisenhower and Queen Elizabeth (who sent Signorelli's Hercules and Antaeus, and five other drawings from Windsor Castle), the show included 88 of the world's greatest. No one living could be sure which among them had the greatest claim to immortality. But the Altdorfer, Watteau and Goya drawings on the next four pages (all reproduced exactly full scale) would certainly be strong candidates...
Fresh & Incalculable. Author Mattingly, professor of European history at Columbia University, begins his account with the execution of Mary Stuart, Roman Catholic Queen of Scotland, in February 1587. Partly as a result, Spain's King Philip II, known as "the Prudent," abandoned prudence long enough to let himself be talked into a campaign designed to cut Protestant Elizabeth down to size. The project, tersely referred to as The Enterprise, was hastily begun. From the start, nothing went right with armaments, provisions, recruiting, and 3½ months be fore the Armada was to sail, its aged admiral died. King Philip...
