...rumored to be fond of Rose Clifton, 21, whose father is a retired army officer. Maybe Charles will be beaten to the altar by Europe's youngest and newest monarch, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. It seems that wavy-haired Carl Gustaf, 27, may be smitten with Silvia de Toledo-Sommerlath, 25, the daughter of a wealthy, retired German businessman. They met last year at the Olympic Games in Munich, where the pretty, multilingual Silvia was the chief VIP hostess. A series of dates since, including an invitation to a royal family party, has some Swedes convinced that...

Last month, after West German Ambassador Ehrenfried von Holleben was kidnaped, he was ransomed by the release of 40 prisoners, who were flown to asylum in Algeria. One of them, Vera Silvia Araújo Magālhaes, 22, had to be carried from the plane; she said that her legs were paralyzed because of brutal tortures that often concentrated on her genitals. Another, Daniel de Arāo Reis Filho, displayed badly scarred arms. Police left him hanging from a beam, he said, "until there was no skin where my arms were placed across the wood...

Leander, the ostensible hero, is altogether a mediocre guy; he manages to fall truly in love with equally dull Silvia (Demetra Striggles), who luckily stands to inherit an enormous fortune from her fractious father (Tony Maier). Dona Sirena the matchmaker (Lucy Raudenbush), a magnificent grande dame whose social position is somewhat frayed for lack of funds, turns a blind, pragmatic eye to the goings-on of her niece Columbine (Anne...

...reported, more than half of 150 Powell-committee trips charged to the taxpayers during the 89th Congress were made by persons other than those in whose names the tickets were bought. The subcommittee, which was authorized by the House three months ago to carry out its investigation, also heard Silvia Givens, 20, testify that she was hired by Powell last August as a clerk, but actually worked as a cookmaid at Powell's Bahamian retreat on South Bimini Island. Subpoenaed to appear this week is Powell's estranged wife, Yvette, who is on his payroll...

Five or six years pass. Cats beget kittens, frauleins beget G.I. issue from the Army of Occupation, bad jokes beget worse ones, and Producer-Director Gottfried Reinhardt (whose wife, Silvia, perpetrated the scenario) underscores the ironies by barreling in beer-hall background music. Actor Redford, a winner on Broadway (Barefoot in the Park), overworks his smooth, stagy comedy style to diminishing effect. Working even harder, Actor Connors curiously resembles those lacquered leading men who proliferated in Hollywood during the '40s while everyone else was away...
