...York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller got up one grey morning last week to appear on NBC's Today show at 8:30. It happened to be one time of day that he could get guaranteed, live, national network coverage for his big announcement.

Mounties serve as provincial police in eight Canadian provinces (all except Quebec and Ontario), are the municipal cops in 120 towns and villages, and nab thousands of speeders yearly on Canada's highways...

...immigrant hotel manager, who became king of the silver screen's lounge lizards with A Woman of Paris in 1923, at his peak earned $200,000 a year and spent a good chunk of it replenishing a 2,000-item wardrobe (plum bowlers, mauve gloves, light grey dinner clothes), later turned to meatier roles, beginning as the city editor of The Front Page (1930) and ending as the unkempt eccentric of Pollyanna (1960), yet forever maintained his dandy image with such outfits as a mink-collared ulster, paisley scarf, brown Borsalino hat, sapphire-studded watch, and cigarette case inscribed...
