...housewarming of his official mansion, a cavernous Regency Park residence given to the U.S. Government by Five & Dime Heiress Barbara Mutton in 1946. Although Aldrich wanted everything "informal," invitations to 330 guests called for "evening dress and decorations," a sure tipoff that royalty would be present. With some 50 Scotland Yardmen and bobbies barring gate-crashers (including all newsmen), the regal parade was led by Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and Queen Mother Elizabeth. After Aldrich whirled the Queen about the ballroom in a lively foxtrot, some of his countrymen started cutting in on the faintly startled Elizabeth. Protocol soon...
While teaching, Tillich will continue work on his book "systematic Theology II." He gave the substance of the volume for the Gifford Lectures in Scotland last fall while on leave from the University. It will be ready for publication within three years, Williams said...

...captain neither agreed nor resisted when Scotland Yard men took Eisler off the Batory at Southampton. For this, when he docked at Gdynia, Cwiklinski sat through a palm-sweating grilling with his bosses and the dreaded U.B. (for Urzad Bezpieczenstwa), Poland's secret police.* On the return trip to New York, the Batory's crew and passengers were in turn grilled by U.S. Government agents, and the eventual loss of pier privileges forced the Poles to give up the transatlantic run. No Communist or proCommunist, Cwiklinski tried to coexist with the Polish satellite regime for the sake...
