Debonair in a silk scarf and herringbone topcoat, and physically not fading at all, General Douglas MacArthur who will be 75 this month, left his 37th-floor apartment in Manhattan's Waldorf Towers to commute by limousine to his job in suburban Connecticut. As Remington Rand Inc.'s $68,600-a-year board chairman, MacArthur makes two or three such trips a week.

If the Remón stables had a winner, Chichi usually called for a mild celebration (his favorite drink: champagne on the rocks). So when his Valley Star copped the tenth race last week, the President and his guests stayed on in the emptying clubhouse...
...Suburban Bliss. Sir Henry is sufficiently tired to realize that his quest is not for glory and the Grail, but for the cozy security of a small castle with a hot-and-cold-running moat. But once he finds his medieval version of suburban bliss and the itinerant ménage à trois settles down, he feels he is committed to being a hero.
