Friday, Aug. 30, 1963
Born. To Hassan II, 34, strong-willed King of Morocco, and Lalla Latifa, 19, Hassan's only "royal spouse" (though not his queen, since Moslem custom bars women from such status): their second child, first son and heir to the troubled throne; in Rabat, Morocco. Name: Sidi Mohammed, after Hassan's father, the late Mohammed V.
Married. Stephanie Wanger, 20, daughter of Actress Joan Bennett and Film Producer Walter Wanger; and Frederick Guest II, 25, investment banker-son of Socialite Winston Guest; in one of Manhattan's gayest summer weddings, attended by the Maharajah of Jaipur, and including Prince Juan Carlos, son of the Spanish Pretender, as an usher, after which the newlyweds took off for a year-long honeymoon.
Married. August Anheuser Busch III, 26, son, grandson and great-grandson of presidents of St. Louis' Anheuser-Busch, Inc., the nation's largest brewery (Budweiser), himself the newest (two weeks) board member; and Susan Marie Hornibrook, 25, space buyer in a Los Angeles ad agency; in Los Angeles.
Died. Eric Allen Johnston, 66, dynamic apostle of a "new capitalism" as the four-time (1942-46) president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, savvy adviser and special envoy (to Latin America, Russia, the Middle East) for three U.S. Presidents, since 1945 Hollywood's unflagging champion as head of the Motion Picture Association; following a stroke; in Washington. A handsome, athletic extravert, Johnston began as a Spokane vacuum-cleaner salesman, became the Northwest's biggest independent appliance distributor. As movie watchdog, he led the campaign to blacklist movie Communists, coped with foreign competition by quietly liberalizing production codes to the point that even the once-rejected The Moon Is Blue was deemed nonblue enough to pass muster. In 1953 he went to the Middle East for President Eisenhower and proposed a plan for sharing the Jordan's waters so commonsensical that only the refusal of Arabs to cooperate with Jews blocked it.
Died. Phyllis Bottome (rhymes with got home), 79, British novelist and disciple of Viennese Psychologist Alfred Adler, who turned out 34 melodramatic novels, including two bestsellers of the 1930s (Private Worlds, The Mortal Storm), climaxed her career with an excellent biography of Adler; after a long illness; in London.
Died. William Richard Morris, Viscount Nuffield, 85, Britain's Ford of auto production and Carnegie of philanthropy; after a long illness; at Nuffield, Oxfordshire (see WORLD BUSINESS).
