...fussed with his wife, ended by shooting her and killing himself. Grandson Gerald Raymond had been led to jail recently for threatening to kill a man. Only a month ago, the family's hot blood ran true-and freely-when Patriarch Norval Raymond, 69, blasted a son-in-law in the face with a shotgun. Yet one Raymond seemed free of the curse of violence: short (5 ft. 5 in.), wiry Dan, 43, an avid hunter who liked his outdoor job as a pipeline worker for a natural gas company and lived with his wife and four children...
...famed Tuscan villa, / Tatti, near Florence. This took a certain amount of fatalism in wartime Italy, Nazi Germany's ally, since Berenson was born a Jew (he was converted to Roman Catholicism), and his only safety lay in a promise from Mussolini's son-in-law, Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano, that he would not be molested.

The Shah is reportedly upset by increasing criticism of Iran in the U.S., hopes that his knowledgeable son-in-law will be able to combat it. And attractive 19-year-old Princess Shahnaz, who speaks excellent English...
Adultery aside, some of their lordships were causing concern enough. The latest statistics show that society mothers launching their daughters would do far far better to snare for a son-in-law an ordinary bloke with a kind heart than the wearer of a coronet. While only one in 15 marriages between commoners breaks up in Britain, seven of 25 of Britain's nonroyal dukes have been to the divorce court, and three of these-Leinster, Leeds and Argyll-have been there more than once. Last week the Duke of Bedford, 42, was in the middle of divorce proceedings...
