...pages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, n, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 24, 25." The once Anglophobic Tribune (whose late proprietor, Colonel Robert McCormick, suspected that Rhodes scholars were British agents in disguise) flew the Union Jack from its tower.

The U.S. was ruled out as a major observation point because Venus and Regulus...
Married. Robin Douglas-Home, 27, London jazz piano player who turned adman to win the hand of Sweden's willowy Princess Margaretha but reverted to the piano after the Swedish royal family stalled and his father roared that the Swedes were belittling the British Empire; and Sandra Paul, 18, homegrown, high-paid model; in London...
