Diplomatic Snub. In fact, the junta at week's end openly declared that it would welcome the King's return. Explained Brigadier Stylianos Pattakos: "The King left on his own, and he may return on his own." The junta was not, of course, acting out of affection for the young monarch. Because Constantine is Greece's head of state and recognized as such by all other nations, his departure stripped the regime of its cherished veneer of legitimacy. Not one single foreign country offered to recognize the new regime, and in a calculated diplomatic snub, the ambassadors...
...Rockefeller, not only for ideological reasons (the two are too close in their philosophies), but for personal ones as well. When Rocky visited the Rockford fair in Illinois in 1964, Percy, then in the midst of his losing gubernatorial bid, refused to appear with him. The reason for the snub, presumably, was that Percy was afraid of being identified with a man whose recent divorce and remarriage had punctured his appeal to the distaff voter...
...Snub from Labor. To do all that, one of the first places Wilson and Shore may have to show some muscle is in dealing with Britain's featherbedding unions.

But handling such problems will be difficult. The powerful Trades Union Congress has gone so far as to snub the Prime Minister by not even asking him to address its annual meeting this week...
...separate wills, dividing his non-estate (mostly personal effects) among sisters, nephews and a friendly prison guard.

Collectors have reportedly offered as much...
Graced with the same snub-nosed design that has characterized the basic bug since 1948, the new 1200 is as much a throwback as an evolution. It has the same chrome trim and many, though not all, of the improvements built into the current 1300 and 1500 models, such as wide-track wheels and automatic choke. But the new car resurrects the pony 41-h.p. engine which VW dropped in 1965. It will hit 70 m.p.h., as against 78 m.p.h. for the 53-h.p. 1500, will cost a bare $1,121, compared with...
