Died. The Right Rev. Eric Knightley Chetwode Hamilton, 71, Dean of Windsor since 1944 and as such, chaplain to the first laymen of the Anglican Church, the late King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II; of a heart attack; in Windsor, England...
...done much better. Last fall, at her annual Supreme Court party, not a single justice snowed up. More recently, she did manage to snare Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges for an evening "just in the middle of that steel crisis."

Last week, with peripatetic Prince Philip back at anchor and her three children at her side, the Queen held a quiet family party at Windsor Castle on the occasion of her 36th birthday. The pomp and pageantry come on June 2, official birthday of British monarchs...
