...curmudgeonly leadership of aging (69) ex-Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. Yet the north woods are full of politicians who have learned to rue the day they counted Diefenbaker out. No sooner did Pearson drop his hints than the old Conservative war horse made a surprisingly successful five-day tour of Quebec's rural eastern outbacks, pumping hands, signing autographs, trying out his fractured French, touring small stores and factories. Just before the last election, Diefenbaker was so unpopular in Quebec that there was real question whether he would be safe on a campaign swing through French Canada. But tempers...
...shopping center, where 15,000 persons had waited an hour in the rain to hear him. Then on to the Music Barn in Massachusetts' Berkshire Hills. Then back to Manhattan to record the sound track for Columbia Pictures' forthcoming Mickey One. Last week, before a two month tour of South America and Europe, he was holding forth at the Carter Barren Amphitheater in Washington...
Getz's success is a return from a long walk on the wild side; from the age of 18 to 27 he was a confirmed dope addict. Son of Russian Jewish immigrants (original name: Gayetzsky), he left school at 15 to tour with Jack Teagarden's band, got as far as St. Louis before the truant officers caught up with him.

...introduction to golf came at the age of 22, after he had already made something of a name for himself as a ragtime pianist in Europe. Early one morning, after a show at Ciro's in Paris, Ross and some friends set out by car for a tour of the French countryside. As luck would have it, the car ran out of gas alongside a suburban golf course -so Sobel played his first round dressed in tails and patent leather shoes. Within four years he was good enough to attract the attention of the Maharajah of Cooch Behar...
...draft beer, eat smoked-ham sandwiches on black pumpernickel. Alitalia bills itself as the "simpatico" airline: its stewardesses, though trained to wear makeup that looks made down, never quite conceal that tantalizing touch of Loren that they all seem to have. The newest wrinkle in service is the package tour that KLM and Belgium's Sabena (as well as the U.S.'s Pan American) will propose at the International Air Transport Association meeting in Bermuda this month. Under KLM's plan, a passenger will be able to fly from Amsterdam to New York, stay two weeks...
