But it was not until last week that Soustelle got "his place" at last. As Minister of Information, he will become...
Previewing a style that might catch on for such sports as spelunking or Gaelic football for girls, Queen Elizabeth II donned black boots, bright white helmet and floppy boiler suit for a visit to the Rothes Colliery in Fife. As Britain's first pit-hopping Queen, Her Majesty drew gushes for the garb from the watchful press, even earned a wee handclap from fussy Royal Couturier Norman Hartnell: "Being English, of course she looks marvelous in all sports clothes...
