Outside the office, "Sigi," as his friends called him, had a reputation as a swinger who liked pretty girls and fast cars, and usually picked up the tab on his visits to local nightspots. He showered his girl friends, who fondly called him der Rosenkavalier, with clothing, jewelry and champagne. No one thought it strange that Sigi was able to indulge such playboy tastes on his $790-a-month soldier's pay. After all, he was known to be a lottery addict, and had once boasted of winning...

When a bobbing, smiley middle-aged swinger lures a reticent and married prospect into her arms, she perks, "Hey! This is the age of the sex revolution. There is nothing to be nervous about." She is wrong. "Oh! Calcutta!," with its literary, artistic, and socially edifying pretensions, is proof of the pudding. "Oh!

...Fight. K turned out to be little better than L. She got a cabin cruiser, but Rees left her, too, when he found out that she was a "lesbian swinger and crazy."

...said of royalty: "In its mystery is its life. We must not let daylight in upon magic." Royal houses, which once saw outside light only when their occupants were wedded, beheaded, deported or deposed, today are almost constantly floodlit. Queen Elizabeth's younger sister Margaret is squired by a swinger 17 years her junior, and the princess's rift with Photographer-Husband-Antony-Armstrong-Jones-the-Earl-of-Snowdon reigns supreme on front pages and TV for days on end. Princess Anne, 25, the Queen's second child and a contender for Britain's Olympic equestrian team, cracks a vertebra...
