...speech, 16 minutes on the need for recreational facilities for young people. Charles and Laura Jo were having their own problems about recreational facilities. A secretarial student at San Diego's Kelsey-Jenney College, Laura Jo was invited on Charles' suggestion to attend retiring U.S. Ambassador Walter Annenberg's farewell party. He had to cancel out because of the death of his great-uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. Instead, Laura Jo visited Charles privately at Kensington Palace. Her mother professed astonishment: "Surely he must have lots of English girl friends." Chagrined mums round England took comfort from...
...terrible weeks in 1971, Walter Annenberg, U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, must have felt like the young Louis XIV when peasants burst into his Palais Royal bedroom demanding bread. At the gates of Annenberg's 220-acre estate in Palm Springs, Calif, were 15 noisy pickets throwing beer cans into the shrubbery and indulging in a few well-chosen oaths. The greensmen hired to tend Annenberg's 18-hole golf course were demanding a pay hike. Annenberg took them to court for violating his right to privacy. Last week the California appellate court...
...George Gerbner, dean of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School of Communications, who is preparing a series of reports on TV violence for the National Institutes of Mental Health, points out that the overall amount of TV time devoted to "action" programming has not changed significantly in the past several years.

Last year alone, Walter H. Annenberg, Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, contributed $254,000; Mrs. George Farkas, wife of the founder of Alexander's department store, and ambassador-designate to Luxembourg, anted up $300,000 ($200,000 of it after Nixon was safely re-elected). Even in Washington, however, money is not everything. Insurance Magnate W. Clement Stone, for instance, kicked in $1,000,000 last year-along with several hints that he would like the London post-but he is still biding his time in Chicago...
...hopeful that the change of government would restore the close cooperation of the U.S.-British "special relationship." Excited by the developing upset, President Nixon stayed up much of the election night following the returns. Momentarily forgetting the five-hour time difference, he put in a call to Ambassador Walter Annenberg, who was awakened in his London residence at 5:29 a.m. The President was chuckling over the plight of the British pollsters who had called the election wrong. Said Nixon: "Well, Walter, what a surprise!" Annenberg did his groggy best to make sense of the still incomplete election returns...
