That U.S.-hip-sounding line, strangely enough, is as British as "jolly good," or "raw-ther." It describes a musical fad that has washed over Britain. "Trad" is traditional jazz, the 1920s variety now in booming revival, and fans are streaming to hear it at stomp centers from Scotland's isle of Arran to an old dance hall on Eel Pie Island off Twickenham in the Thames, where Henry VIII once twitted his mistresses while eating the best eel pie in the kingdom. Bankers, clerks and beardless youths, secretaries, bus conductors, doctors, bricklayers, teachers-the traddists are a class...
Wide World of Sports (ABC, 5-7 p.m.). Playing for a $10,000 prize, Golfers Gary Player (Masters winner) and Arnold Palmer (British Open champion) swat it out in a match taped at St. Andrews, Scotland...
...jonquil hair. 22-year-old Susannah is one of the few English girls who can seem equally natural nibbling strawberries in a May-fairy frock in The Players Restaurant at Wimbledon or sprinting eastward in a bikini on the beaches of the Mediterranean. Born in London and raised in Scotland, she met Actor Michael Wells at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, married him, now lives in a dusty flat in an unfashionable part of Chelsea among half-dead flowers and half-dry socks.

Had Kirkaldy been around St. Andrews last week, he probably would have heaved his clubs into the North Sea. Heavy tractors trundled television cameras, cables and lights all over the course. Cameramen swarmed over roughs and fairways, technicians and officials thronged the greens, and close to 5,000 Scots followed the proceedings with alternating amusement and dismay. For an 18-hole golf match between...
...Edinburgh (Aug. 20-Sept. 9). Dull and in atrophy for several years, Scotland's International Festival of the arts promises a return to pre-eminence this year under a new artistic director, Lord Harewood, 38, music-critic cousin of Queen Elizabeth. With John Osborne's Luther (see above), he will present the Bristol Old Vic's version of Lawrence Durrell's Sappho and Wolf (Expresso Bongo) Mankowitz' adaptation of Friedrich Duerrenmatt's Frank V, described as the "musical history of a private bank." Then there is also the famed Edinburgh "Fringe"-small, independent productions...
