...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. In the courtyard, a slender fountain tinkled in a garden dominated by four dome-shaped hibiscus bushes; from delicately wrought arbors came the sweet, heavy-bodied scent of flowering blue jasmine...
...romance began three weeks ago. On a diplomatic visit to Beirut, Saud called at Premier Sami Solh's home and found Ferial baby-sitting with the Premier's grandchildren. Ferial is a chestnut-haired beauty with brownish-green eyes, a slender waist and notable bosom. 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.

At count down's end, fire flashed at its base, and the monster slowly rose into the air, a pencil of orange flame lengthening behind it. Straight up it rocketed, gathering speed. Several miles up in the bright blue sky, it arched gracefully into a southeastward course, dwindled to a speck and then, 2¼ minutes after rising from its pad, disappeared out over the Atlantic, hurtling on toward...
Jean Humphrey, 34, a slender, lively woman who once danced with the corps de ballet at Manhattan's famed Radio City Music Hall, opened up dancing classes at Worthington's Town Hall. George, 39, was a publisher, ran a little printing firm that turned out school yearbooks and similar publications. He liked to drive around in a $10,000 Continental Mark II, and was known to be a mite expansive about his moneymaking prowess; he also gave the impression that he was related to former U.S. Treasury Secretary George Humphrey. He had a little printing press...
