...Ph.D., novelist, critic, teacher, advocate of legalizing marijuana and friendly enemy of mass culture, can be as provocative for the inhibited intellectual as the newest Swedish marriage manual would be for uneasy newlyweds. In his latest venture into "literary anthropology," Fiedler has sought out and identified the spiritual heir of the classic frontiersman, that New World breed who was an Indian at heart. The heir is none other than today's hippie, painting his own sunsets on psychedelic clouds...
Chipping Away. Subtly playing on national sensibilities, with none other than Chiang Kai-shek's son and heir apparent Chiang Ching-kuo pulling the strings, government-backed all-Chinese China Airlines (CAL) started chipping away at CAT's route map last April. First CAL began flying parallel flights from Taipei to Hong Kong and Tokyo, then took over CAT's routes to Seoul and Manila. It bought three Boeing 727 jets with government guaranteed loans and, recently, a former Taiwan air force chief, who is also a close associate of Chiang Ching-kuo's, appeared...
...baptism turned out to be quite a bash-and with good reason. Felipe is the first son of Prince Juan Carlos and Princess Sophie (whose brother is the exiled King Constantine of Greece) and the first heir to the throne to be born in Spain since the monarchy fell in 1931.

(which owns the new Paradise Island Hotel, along with A. & P. Heir Huntington Hartford, who retains 25%), the guests knew that le beau Serge would program their kind of weekend in the sun. He was there from the instant they entered Nassau customs, smoothing the way and shepherding them into the black and white Cadillac limousines. For entertainment, he arranged an "informal" dinner the first night...
Some of the Ginger. The change was "Chick" Ireland's choice. Woolworth Heir Kirby, who not only holds 60% of Allegheny's voting stock (worth $58 million) but is also one of the biggest single stockholders in ITT, has been incapacitated since a stroke last spring. To succeed him as chairman, Alleghany's board chose Son Fred Kirby, 48, who had been an executive vice president. There was no upheaval, Fred and Younger Brother Allan Jr., a vice president, urged Ireland to stay on, but Ireland clearly felt that much of the ginger had departed with Allan Sr. He confided...
