...regards as his royal duties, whether they give him pleasure or not. Heirs apparent of the past rarely set foot in Wales, let alone bothered to learn more than enough Welsh to struggle through an investiture. The latest Prince already has considerable acquaintance with his titular fiefdom. He has spent the past two months in Wales. It was the Prince's own idea to attempt to quiet the Welsh protests against his investiture and at the same time satisfy his own well-honed sense of duty. Taking along only his cello, a record player and a metal cabinet for some...
...moving in these directions. Last week President Nixon decided to abolish the often criticized principle of "additionality," which, since 1965, has forced Latin Americans to buy American goods with U.S. aid money.

Last week she spent primary day modeling the collection of Ben Kahn, which included a wild Tibetan yak poncho. But Margie admits that she is still a bit young for such plumage, and told reporters that she was "glad to get back into my own clothes"-hip-huggers and an Army sergeant major...
...Loosey-Goosey. Son of a Chickasha, Okla., greenskeeper, Moody enlisted in the Army in 1954, spent the next 14 years in charge of various Army golf courses and teaching generals to lock their elbows on the backswing. "I played a lot of golf, of course," says the ex-staff sergeant, "but lots of times I couldn't, because some colonel might see me and say 'What the hell is this?' " Pro Golfer Mason Rudolph had a similar reaction when, as an Army private in 1958, he lost the All-Army tournament to Moody by one stroke. Stationed...
