...baptismal ceremony in Madrid's Pardo Palace was over, and now came time to take the family photographs. Little María de Aránzazu Luisa la Santísima Trinidad y de Todos los Santos, born a fortnight ago, was trundled into the boudoir of her mother, Maria del Carmen Franco y Polo, Marquesa de Villaverde, 36, the only child of Spain's Francisco Franco. All was serene while the photographers snapped away. Then the Marquesa's next youngest child, María del Mar. handed her mother a tiny box. As the last...
Born. To Maria del Carmen Franco y Polo, Marquesa de Villaverde, 36, raven-haired only child of Spain's Generalisimo Francisco Franco, and Dr. Cristobal Martinez Bordiu Ortega y Bascaran, tenth Marques de Villaverde, 40, heart and lung surgeon whose 17th century title puts him a notch below a grandee: their sixth child, fourth daughter...
...years. To explain why Bert and Harry ever went away, Manhattan's Young & Rubicam ad agency has invented a mythical management consultant ("He's sort of a Wharton School of Finance type") who helped oust the brothers because their commercials were undignified. Named E. Gordon Gibbs after Y. & R.'s traffic director, he gets full blame for stepping in as Piel's advertising manager and personally ordering the jarring jingles.

The sprawling B.H.P. shop is presently managed by a triumvirate that prefers fishing to nightclubbing and warily shies away from public notice. The ruling trio: courtly Chairman Colin Y. Syme, 59. a Melbourne lawyer; Managing Director Norman E. Jones, 58, a quiet chemist and metallurgist; and impatient Ian M. McLennan, 52, chief general manager, who joined B.H.P. in 1933 in a cadet engineer's "pick-and-shovel" job. Travelling tirelessly, Syme, Jones and McLennan leave so little authority...
...cranks the new plot into action is His Royal Highness Terence ("Terrible Terry'') Wolowo Ajkaje, a 6-ft.-y-in. African native who is the ambitious leader of the British protectorate of Gorotoland. To make a name for himself, Terrible Terry pops up in South Carolina on the tense first day of school integration. Dressed in his tribal robes, he picks up a little Negro girl and touches off a riot by carrying her up the school steps through a blockading mob of screaming white harridans...
