...Crown Hotel, Stornoway, manfully plunked down two and sixpence for a cherry brandy. It was grand fun until his royal bodyguard collared him, shooed him off to join the boys for dinner and a movie (It Happened in Athens, starring Jayne Mansfield). But since Scottish law sets 18 as the legal drinking age, that spot of brandy soon splashed into headlines, and Buckingham Palace-perhaps mindful that Britannia has waived the rules too often lately-left its heir apparent to the mercies of Gordonstoun Headmaster Robert Chew. Chew began chewing with: "The normal punishment for an offense of this kind...
Last week, as the two-day Cup matches got under way. an icy wind roared off the Firth of Clyde, dumping rain and sleet on Ailsa. "I'd heard about this Scottish weather," complained one U.S. golfer, "but I never believed it before." The Americans blew skyhigh. U.S. Amateur Champion Labron Harris lost to Ireland's David Sheahan, one up. California's Richard Davies, the 1962 British Amateur champion, blew a three-hole lead to England's Mike Bonallak. When night finally fell, the upset-minded British took a 6-3 lead with them into...
...casting for James Bond and Honeychile Rider, his principal mate, was almost as demanding as that for PT-109, and JFK will be lucky if Cliff Robertson fills him out the way Sean Connery does James Bond.

...divorce was granted on the grounds of her adultery in 1960 with Harvey Combe at the Argylls' London house in Upper Grosvenor Street. The Argylls' litigation, which had dragged on for 3½ years, was the longest, most expensive (estimated cost: $140,000) and most sensational in Scottish history. And it may not be over, since the duchess has said that she plans to appeal the court's verdict. In any case, she still faces charges of libel and conspiracy to sustain a malicious charge of adultery, stemming from her own divorce petition against the duke, which...
...husband has no title and works for a living, but Princess Alexandra, 26, was hardly rewriting Cinderella. Angus James Bruce Ogilvy, 34, is the handsome, well-heeled second son of the Earl of Airlie, whose ancient Scottish clan (motto: "To the End") won its English title for supporting Charles I in the Civil War-and lost it for 81 years after fighting with Bonnie Prince Charlie against Alexandra's ancestor, George II. After Eton, Oxford and the Scots Guards, Ogilvy joined the investment firm of Harold Drayton, a self-made London multimillionaire whose interests Ogilvy represents (for $300 weekly...
