Southern Exposure. The aristocracy still produces its rare blooms, such as Henrietta Tiarks, 1957's Debutante of the Year, and young Lady Beatty. But except for the consistently smart Duchess of Kent and the occasional piquancy of Princess Margaret, the royal family itself is too safe and sane to serve as popular fashion plates for Britain's enterprising young women. Instead they have turned to film stars. First, notes the British Harper's Bazaar, there were "the ubiquitous and slightly blurred carbons of Elizabeth Taylor ... Since then, passing through the [Audrey] Hepburn phase, we are now being...
...final paragraph of Taylor's reply was the most sensible and sane statement on the whole controversy: "My objection to the art, like the jury comment, is based on the fact that it reflects a declining aesthetic climate. The early 1950's saw the break-through of our native abstract pioneers into fresh realms of feeling; today that movement seems in a cul-de-sac in which imitation and repetition have momentarily taken the place of creative statement.

...pair seemed to be Topeka's Old Republican Alfred Mossman London and the widow of the man who overwhelmed him in the 1936 presidential election, Old Democrat Eleanor Roosevelt. Landon, 72, and Mrs. Roosevelt, 75, obviously struck responsive chords with each other in their mutual endorsement of a "sane nuclear policy." Neither of them, however, joined a ban-the-bomb march after the rally. That was left to more militant demonstrators, such as Old Socialist Norman Thomas and Union Leader Walter Reuther...
