...Slender, wavy-haired and handsome, Lopez Mateos will have especial appear in next July's election, when women vote for a President for the first time. He lives with his wife and 15-year-old daughter in a still unfinished modern house with a $13,600 mortgage on it. He is up at 5 a.m. -"I never sleep more than five hours a night"-for a breakfast of black coffee, meat and fruit, drives himself to work in his Fiat. Because he has stuck so closely to his office, he is not well known to most Mexicans. Not until...
...Moroccan capital of Rabat last week, a strapping black African sentry, resplendent in scarlet uniform, white puttees and black-tasseled bicorn, paced slowly back and forth in front of the brass-studded door that leads into Princess Lalla (Lady) Aisha's green-tiled villa.

Though he already has four wives* and upwards of 80 concubines, Saud, according to a witness, was "visibly staggered." Soon Ferial's father was approached to find out if she was available for marriage. When the King flew back to Saudi Arabia a few days later, he took along pictures of Ferial...
Tall (5 ft. 9½ in.), slender, exquisite Actress Kendall seems at one moment to have come sauntering elegantly out of a Gainsborough portrait, yet at the next she is helling about the screen like a Hogarth hoyden. There is Kay in the height of Paris fashion, triumphant on the witness stand; Kay slinking about in skintights, silkily eluding an incipient pinch; Kay staggering under a giant bouquet of sunflowers, hurling herself into a violent off-to-Buffalo; Kay drunk and belching through a lusty diaphragmentation of the Habanera from Carmen ("All ze men, zay want my -ceegarettes"). And always...
