...Western Sandwiches. The "Queen Mum," as New York's British colony calls her, arrived in the U.S. last week smiling and marveling at the sights of New York harbor. At week's end, after a schedule of shopping, sightseeing and partying that would have staggered women half her age, she was still going strong.

...just stepped out of a Cadillac ad. His 5 ft. 9 in., 155-Ib. frame is usually clad in flawless blues and greys; at 61, his once brick-red hair and pencil-line mustache are grey, but his bright blue eyes sparkle like a newly polished car, his smile is as broad as a Cadillac grille.
