...your mention of the Manhattan Show which includes pictures by Lord Snowdon [May 7], you suggested the pictures of poor and elderly Britons were taken on charity missions, accompanied by his wife, Princess Margaret. This is not true. The pictures were taken on straightforward assignment for the Sunday Times Magazine, and he was only accompanied by one of our writers. On no occasion has Lord Snowdon taken advantage of his marriage to gain access to situations that were not available to other photographers...
...only one of twelve famed photographers whose works are displayed in a show at Huntington Hartford's Gallery of Modern Art in Manhattan, and among his best are moving shots of poor and elderly Britons. However, Lord Snowdon, 35, gets those when he goes on charity missions with his wife, Princess Margaret. Glamour is still his forte.

One night the Snowdons invited the Attassis to dinner. Said Attassi: "As our wives were taking...
...Snowdon, 46, who had served in Syria for three years, was promptly expelled. In the context of the Middle East power balance, the U.S. might well be interested in the weaponry of Syria's bathtub fleet. But Attassi hardly bolstered the Syrian government's case when he blurted out in court: "I was placed under torture by electricity as soon as I was arrested." Asked for com ment on Hafez' espionage drama, U.S. Ambassador Ridgway B. Knight declared: "I don't intend to get into a spitting match with a skunk"-surely one of the most...
