...girl is Farah Diba, 21, slender and tall (5 ft. 8 in.), with shiny black eyes and curly chestnut hair worn in a carefully untidy nouvelle vague coiffure. A onetime student of architecture at the Ecole Speciale d'Architecture in Paris, she stood 20th in a class of 156, is a competent pianist, a good swimmer and basketball player. Popular with her French classmates because she had "such a lot of heart and sensitivity," Farah comes from a well-to-do Iranian family and is distantly related to weepy ex-Premier Mohammed Mossadegh, who briefly dethroned the Shah...
...role as one of Britain's most influential style setters, Princess Margaret set stylish maids and matrons agog by a radical change of hairdo. Almost flapperish, the new do features tight rolls by the ears, an arcing lock of hair across the forehead. Making one of her first public appearances in her changed coiffure, Margaret, 29, went stomping at London's Savoy Hotel with Bachelor Farmer Alan Godsal, 33, who carries the title of High Sheriff of Berkshire.

He wore a dark blue school shirt and a baseball cap pulled low over his close-cropped grey hair, and he barely came to some of the players' shoulders. But when he spoke, they spun to listen, and for good reason. Bantam-sized (5 ft. 8 in., 160 lbs.) Coach Floyd Burdette ("Ben") Schwartzwalder, 50, is the one man who has changed Syracuse from a perpetual Eastern patsy into a powerhouse that leads the nation in offense (36.4 points...
Edison became the world symbol of Yankee ingenuity and looked and acted the part. Moonfaced, with a lock of hair flopping across his brow and a plug of chewing tobacco in his cheek (instead of a spittoon, he would spit on the floor "because you can't miss it"), Edison had acid-stained hands, an explosive vocabulary and a pioneer's instinct for practical jokes. He spouted the slogans of agrarian radicals, railed at U.S. colleges for stuffing students with "Latin, Philosophy and all that ninny stuff," and fiercely defended his agnostic opinions...
