...around and talk quietly about business and the weather. The Grand Duchess Charlotte rarely ever mingles with her guests; at the receptions in her toylike palace, she prefers to remain secluded in a small side room. Last week Luxembourg, whose national motto is Mir welle bleiwe wat mir sin (We want to stay as we are), suspected that its social life, at least, would not long bleiwe as it was.

Broderick this week, in a sermon at New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral. "The toying parlor pink," he said, "must show his true color, red or not red . . . There is no room for pastel shades." Later, Cardinal Spellman, who heard the sermon, modified the interpretation a bit: Catholics who must read the Worker and other Communist literature...
...large garage behind his comfortable 32-room Italian Renaissance home, he maintains the offices of the Harold Lloyd Corp. There President Lloyd and 15 employees take care of scattered real-estate holdings and handle an occasional movie. The last thing he acted in was Preston Sturges' The Sin of Harold Diddlebock. Howard Hughes, who bought it, is still cutting...
