A world removed
"It is difficult to live up to the Miss World image, but I always remind myself that you can't please everyone." That is what Marjorie Wallace said shortly after winning the title last November. Her remarks proved unfortunately prophetic. After rumors began circulating about romances with racing car millionaire Peter Revson, soccer idol George Best and singing star Tom Jones, the contest's organizers decided they were among those least pleased with Marjie's image as Miss World, and stripped Marjie of her crown.

Point of disorder
Partway through a San Francisco school board meeting on interracial busing, local Nazi party commander Alan Vincent, in a brown shirt with swastika armband, rose to make a statement. Jewish Defense League leader Roger Pavlow rose to dispute him. In no time at all, as the stunned and apprehensive audience looked on, the meeting abandoned Robert's Rules of Order. Pavlow, seen here with his back to the camera, was later charged with battery. The board voted to adopt the busing proposal.

Hair suit
Five-year-old Billy Epperson of Pasadena, Tex. wears his hair one-half inch too long around the ears says his elementary school principal who has ruled that Billy must get a haircut before returning to class. Billy wears his hair that way, his mother says, to disguise a slightly misshapen skull, a birth defect, and thus spare him the ridicule of his classmates. Billy and his mother offered to trim his hair slightly, but last week the school board turned even that down. The Eppersons will sue, but until they can get a court date Billy is still barred from classes.

Tough cop in a spot
In 1971 Frank Rizzo, then Philadelphia's police chief, ran for mayor on a law-and-order platform, proclaiming himself to be "the toughest cop in America." He won handily, but the image has tarnished somewhat since. Last year an admitted political enemy of Rizzo's claimed that, as mayor, Rizzo had offered him a bribe. Rizzo angrily denied the charge and offered to take a lie detector test—which he flunked. Now the Pennsylvania Crime Commission has charged that the Philadelphia police force is rife with corruption and that the city government, with Rizzo mayor, has tried to block the commission's investigation.

Too much disclosure
To demonstrate at the Washington, D.C. arraignment of seven Watergate coverup defendants, Robert Maslow of nearby Bethesda, Md. fashioned a huge likeness of President Nixon. Police at the courthouse tolerated that, but when Maslow tore off his pants and long underwear, officers moved in with a coverup of their own and charged him with disorderly conduct.
