...actress played high comedy better than Grace Kelly during the six years (1951-56) that her film career flared so beguilingly, and what fascinated the groundlings was that she seemed to be living the roles as well. Last week, 28 years after she met Prince Rainier of Monaco during the filming of Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief, and 26 years after she gave up acting to marry him and become the reigning Princess of his 467-acre tax haven and gambling oasis, she came to the poignant and unexpected end of an astonishing script...

Only hours later, another group of mountaineers met disaster on Oregon's Mount Hood, roughly 100 miles south of Mount Rainier. The victims were on an outing sponsored by the Portland-based Mazamas Club, a mountaineering group founded in 1894 and specializing in assaults on Mount Hood's 11,235-ft. peak. At the 10,500-ft. level on the dormant volcano's northeast face, one or more of the 17-member party slipped. The climbers, roped together in groups for safety, tumbled 2,000 ft. down the slope...
