...Ford is one of Detroit's less accessible executives, yet on this occasion he talked open WITH deep regret I report the death in Rome last week of Alwyn Lee, who has been TIME'S foremost literary critic. He was, as a colleague fondly puts it, "a swinger of the intellect. Until one met him, one never fully understood what the college president means at commencement time when he invites you into 'the fellowship of educated...
...much on display as the 21-year-old future King of England will be his kid sister, Princess Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise, 19, fourth in line for the British throne and, it is said, something of a swinger. Plump and dowdy as a teenager, Anne, according to Women's Wear Daily, the supreme authority for all such judgments, has succeeded at "slimming down and picking up more graceful airs."

"Despite all the publicity for him," a leading Tory complains, "he still doesn't get across, and he won't get anywhere until he learns to join the human race." Wilson...
...JOHN L. SWIGERT JR., 38, command-module pilot, has very little in common with the man he replaced beyond the fact that both are bachelors. Ken Mattingly is serious and studious. Swigert is a not-so-secret swinger with the reputation of having a girl in every (air) port. Swigert's favorite ploy, his friends say, is to invite girls to his apartment to see what he claims are his moon rocks. For all his bachelor antics, however, Swigert is a highly skilled former Air Force flyer and civilian test pilot with degrees in mechanical engineering, aerospace science...
