Ogilvy tells all-or at least much-in a book out last week, Confessions of an Advertising Man (172 pp.; Atheneum; $4.95). Confessions? Some agencies', Scot-reared Ogilvy once told an interviewer, "are like churches where there is no dogma, where they make up their own prayers. Ours is like the Catholic Church." For a man who is reputed to be one of Madison Avenue's boldest commandment breakers, his theology is surprisingly orthodox. Celebrated for his audacity and British charm, he prefers to stress basic, old-fashioned disciplines, and to show how well he knows his Americans...
...Scot of Scots. Coldstream has been home to the Homes for at least eight centuries, and they have always been powers in the land. Their rolling farm lands were bestowed on the family by Scotland's King William the Lion in the 13th century. Later, the Homes merged with the powerful Douglas clan and inherited their vast, 50,000-acre estates in the Douglas Valley, 80 miles west of Coldstream.

In his glass-strewn office, Ambassador Gilchrist finally received a delegation of the rioters. A blunt, spade-bearded Scot who once dispersed an anti-British mob in Iceland by playing Chopin records from a phonograph set in his office window, Gilchrist explained to the rioters that the United Nations had sanctioned Malaysia, dismissed them with a contemptuous "Hidup [long live] U Thant...
...Speedy Scot: the 38th Hambletonian for three-year-old trotters in a world's record combined time of 5:54 for three heats around the mile track; in simmery, 90° sunshine at the Du Quoin, Ill., State Fair Grounds. Despite his speed, the colt lost the first race by a head to Florlis, who set a one-heat record...
