...commuter town of Darien, Conn., has recently felt much abused. Feature writers portrayed it as a horrible example of suburban depravity in the wake of the trial of 19-year-old Michael V. Smith, who got drunk at a couple of debutante parties, drove a station wagon into a tree, and killed a 17-year-old companion. All the parent-hosts were haled into court under a controversial law against giving a drink to anyone under 21. Then, to make matters worse, a star prosecution witness at the trial, William Alpert, 20, was arrested for the possession of marijuana...

Half of her fortune is in trust for her two sons, 14 and 5, and her daughter, 11. In the dining room of her home there is a photograph of the Kennedy family, with an inscription from Jackie Kennedy saying: "There is another bond we share...
...Saving. Chafee also presents an image in the best tradition of New England frugality. He saved architects' fees by designing his own home, a concrete block abode on 20 acres near Providence. Trouble is, he neglected to put in a garage to house the 1962 Plymouth station wagon that he ordinarily drives instead of the state limousine that is one of his perquisites. The father of six children, Chafee laughingly tells Rhode Islanders that he wants to be Governor because he needs the job-"I have to work for a living." On the basis of last week...
