...zeal for fast cars and beautiful women, Spain's late Marquis de Portago (TIME, May 20) neglected the legal adoption of one of his sons, Kim, now 3. Legally fatherless, little Kim was last week the object of a private tug o' war that will probably never land in the courts. Racer de Portage's mother, Olga Martin-Montis, holder of the De Portago purse strings, is fond of her grandson, reportedly wishes to adopt him herself. All for keeping the boy and wangling from Olga a settlement on him is Kim's mother, onetime famed...
...cousins (he claims 150 kinsfolk) or how to make porcupine meat balls. He could turn a muffed line into an "Ernie-ism" ("I'm as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs"), drive home a folksy Ford (Motor Co.) commercial, or tug tears with a lugubrious, deep-voiced version of The Lord's Prayer.

General Raymond A. Wheeler, chief of the U.N. salvage force, to get on at last with clearing the canal's last big obstructions. Engineer Wheeler himself, in a black Homburg, tried to approach the tug by boat but was waved off by the Egyptians, and with his usual care not to give or take offense, agreed that he should have made an appointment first...
Poor little tug, he's a dead bird for that no-hope shicer (John McCullum) who keeps the local rubbedy, where the cow-cockies and swaggies get shickered up on Saturday night. He's chronic, that man, a bit of a bludger, and maybe even a tea leaf. He not only smoodges Smiley into some mauldy business with the abos, but before you know it, he's up to putty with the new schoolteacher (Jocelyn Hernfield)-now there's a basket of oranges!-whom he would obviously like to blackbird...
