Duke of Windsor Shaving Habit Highlighted in Vanity Fair
In Vanity Fair the Duke of Windsor is depicted as shaving twice daily while in Paris exile with few servants. The piece humorously speculates on a potential addiction, imagining social fallout at dinner parties and Wallis’s possible reaction, and contrasts with Barbara Piasecka Johnson’s bomb shelter and endless shaving in a separate satirical note.

Supreme Court weighs rights of handicapped newborns in Baby Doe ruling
The Supreme Court upholds a ruling invalidating HHS regulations under the Rehabilitation Act that would require hospitals to treat handicapped newborns. The decision centers on whether parental non-treatment decisions can be regulated and whether hospitals have authority to override non-consent in life threatening cases. Justice White dissented, arguing for a regulatory role to curb discriminatory care. George Will comments as Washington Post columnist.
