...Princess of Wales, says, "She's got a big, fat bottom." Her grandmother put on earplugs when she sang. Hardly the way to treat a lady. Unless she happens to be Lady (Helen) Teresa Margaret Manners, 23, daughter of Charles John Robert Manners, the tenth Duke of Rutland, and lead singer of the British aristo-rock band, the Business Connection. Despite the group's white-collar name, Lady Teresa's connections are strictly blue blood. Her father owns Belvoir Castle, one of Britain's most imposing homes; her 15-piece band includes the Marquess of Worcester on vocals...

"It just really struck me that the person on the cover was a mature person," she says. "It fit me and where I am at this point in my life...
...Where Rutland is at this point in her life--49 with grown children, money to spend and visions of a full life ahead of her--is the same point being reached by an unprecedented number of magazine readers. As the baby-boom generation rumbles toward retirement age, publishers are scrambling to follow it. Titles like Rolling Stone and Ramparts, founded to document the boomers' rebellious youth, long ago yielded coffee-table space to Money and Parenting, with their grownup concerns. Now at least two new magazines--Meredith Corp.'s More and AARP's My Generation--claim they have figured...
