Smiling recruiters from 18 companies will take over 32 rooms in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria this week to interview more than 600 college graduates. On hand will be personnel specialists from Boeing, Bristol-Myers, Chase Manhattan, Equitable Life, Lever Bros., J. C. Penney, Xerox and other giants.

Cliveden Chatelaine. One of the five "handsome Miss Langhornes" of Virginia society, Nancy, barely 18, plunged into an unhappy six-year marriage to a drunkard that made her a lifelong crusader for Prohibition. She was 27 and at the height of her beauty when she married Waldorf Astor, whose father, the 1st Viscount and fabulously wealthy great-grandson of John Jacob, had settled in England. For a wedding present, her father-in-law-Nancy called him "Old Moneybags"-presented the couple with several million pounds and Cliveden, a 300-year-old Thames-side estate. Now the home of her eldest...
