Reagan, still handsome and preternaturally youthful-looking at 55, has carefully eschewed support of extreme right-wing causes in favor of a pragmatic middle-of-the-road approach-and his managers have made certain that the far right has no place in his campaign organization. Speaking to housewives in vegetable-growing Salinas, he conveyed just the right blend of humor and concern at the rising cost of living. "You ladies," he charmed, "know that if you stand in front of the asparagus counter at the supermarket these days, it's cheaper to eat money." To the charge that...
Giant Noose. Last week they knew better. The lesson began one afternoon when shapely, blue-eyed Peggy Ann Bradnick, 17, stepped off a school bus with five younger brothers and sisters and began walking down a dirt road to her farm home. A masked, rifle-toting man stepped from the woods. Before dragging Peggy into the dense brush, he snapped: "I don't want any sass from you kids. I'm taking this girl...

...teen-ager in Europe, he had shown himself mostly interested in le jazz hot, Hitchcock thrillers and swift sports cars-one of which he smashed up on a Swiss road, very nearly losing an eye. To this day he seldom appears in public without tinted glasses. He had been studying science; when he assumed the throne in 1946, he went back to Switzerland to finish his studies and switched to law. He first saw his beautiful second cousin Sirikit when she was only 14, at a reception in Paris, where her father was the Thai ambassador. When he returned...
