...Margaret "is in love" with the handsome captain. Had the royal family acted to head off a match with a man who is not only a commoner but 38, divorced and the father of two children? British newshens clucked and asked if that was why the Princess looked so sad and wan in her latest pictures from Africa. From Rhodesia came another explanation: the bite of Rhodesia's cold wave. Queen Mother Elizabeth and Margaret stepped off their Comet in light summer dresses, have been shivering and forcing smiles ever since. Added mishap: the Queen Mother's hatbox...

Antonio Frasconi, 34, seems a paradoxical fellow. He has happy brown eyes and a sad black mustache, an air of contentment and a sighing voice, a habit of absent-minded wandering and a craftsman's power of concentration.

Frasconi divides his time between Southern California (where "everything is wide open") and Manhattan ("it's all concentrated like a sardine can"). He sketches constantly in street and field "There is so much going on," he sighs, "so much material...
