Diana Bradbury swims Thames in protest over Britain’s spirit

George Harrison toured Haight Ashbury in San Francisco with wife Patti, borrowing a guitar from a stranger and attracting a large crowd before leaving for Los Angeles. Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco visited Los Angeles with their three children, touring film studios and attending a party for Carol Burnett hosted by Rock Hudson, planning a Disneyland stop.
