Both hero and plot seemed the mixture as before. In Bombay, Italian Movie Director Roberto Rossellini, in India since January to shoot documentary films, was lodged in Room 544A of the big, baroque Taj Mahal Hotel. Next door, in connecting Suite 545, was ensconced a tall Indian woman named Sonali Das Gupta, 27, mother of two boys and wife of one of India's top film producers, Hari Das Gupta. Sonali had larger accommodations, presumably because her 6-month-old son was sometimes brought to stay with her there. The couple seldom emerged from their quarters even for meals...
Innocent Affair. One day last fall Margaretha and some friends dropped in at the Casanova Club, one of the upholstered haunts of the Princess Margaret set. There, playing a lively jazz piano, was 25-year-old Robin Douglas-Home. Tall, blond and thinly handsome, Robin was no ordinary pianist.

Robin is a close friend of that young cutup, the Duke of Kent, and a frequent escort of his sister Princess Alexandra. After five years as an officer in the Seaforth Highlanders...

After three weeks of sitting around the office, Brower convinced the agency that he really had been hired. When...
...Halls garlanded with tears and cheers, to christen the Stars and Bars in Yankee blood at Bull Run. Though the war ends with Lee's majestic surrender to sloppy old Grant, the wounded sons return home to begin a spirited restitching of their tattered Dixie-land until Lincoln--brave, tall, sad, lonely Lincoln--is assassinated in a historical facsimile, and Northern monsters, carpetbaggers, give the Negroes more than equal rights, disfranchise the gentry, and set the South back countless years...
...priest-shortage problem was ably presented to the hierarchy by tall, gaunt Louis-Marie Fernand de Bazelaire, 64-year-old Archbishop of Chambéry, but the solutions he had to offer seemed nothing more than restatements of the problem: a revival of faith, an appeal to the generosity of laymen, and the request that Catholic parents encourage their children to become priests or nuns...
