...sight under the new regime. The son of Sir Hector Hetherington, principal of Glasgow University, he took honors in English at Oxford, went straight into the tank corps in World War II. His first newspaper job was on the British military staff putting out Hamburg's Die Welt. After the war Hetherington worked on the Glasgow Herald, spent five months at Princeton as a Commonwealth Fellow in 1952.

Scheduled to be married last week to Josephine Buono, Sigmund rebelled when he discovered that his expense-paid honeymoon had to be spent at winterbound Princeton, N.J. He demanded Florida or California instead. Welt was bounced from the program and, minutes later, bounced again by his fiancee. After thinking things over until 5 a.m., Sigmund decided he just had to talk to Josephine. He broke into the basement of her Brooklyn home, stole up toward...
