One of the cutest students at California's Mills College, winsome Amy Hsiao-chang Chiang, 21, turned out with classmates and faculty members for a picnic lunch in a dormitory courtyard, giggled at a series of skits staged by freshman girls. Sophomore Amy, who transferred to the all-woman school this term from Formosa's University of Soochow, is the granddaughter of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and the daughter of. Lieut. General Chiang Ching-kuo. She has thus far not dated any U.S. swains but is frequently escorted by her brother Alan, a University of California freshman.
Britain's Housing Ministry announced that an old Hertfordshire farmhouse, where legend has it that a doctor wrote a charming nursery rhyme about his daughter some 350 years ago, will be preserved as a national monument. The immortal moppet: Little Miss Muffet.
All but smothered by past awards and citations, FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover, 64, quietly celebrated the 35th anniversary of his appointment as G-man No. 1.
A note of undue levity entered debate in Britain's House of Lords. Occasion: their lordships' second reading of the Street Offences Bill, aimed at giving streetwalkers a red light. In his maiden speech, the Earl of Arran, 55, disclosed that he has been "carrying out a personal research—with the aid of the authorities and also through conversations with some of the unhappy ladies." His awesomely exact conclusion: "One in every 544 adult women in Metropolitan London is a harlot." Then dignity-packed Earl Howe, 75, felt compelled to report upon some involuntary research of his own. His lordship's ghastly experience in fashionable Mayfair not long ago: "I was confronted by a female who came out of a side street and stood in front of me. As I tried to sidestep, she sidestepped too, that way and the other way. [Laughter..] It sounds amusing, my lords, but it is not so amusing—really. I got bored with it. I took hold of her arms and put her on one side and tried to walk on. Whereupon she attacked me with her brolly and tried to knock my hat off."
