ON THE COVER — A Bob Hope fan can visit the offices of Hope Enterprises in the San Fernando Valley and get lost for hours among the memorabilia. Photos of Hope's brilliant career abound in file drawers, tenderly catalogued by Mr. Ward Grant, who protects these precious pix with his life. Our cover shot comes courtesy of Mr. Grant, as do the other historic photos that grace the sweet love story that begins on page 62.
