...jumble, to be sure. Loaded with subterfuge, hidden identities, cloistered maidens, reprobates, fops, split-second marriages, and a Duke ex machina, Measure for Measure is a grabbag of Elizabethan dramatic tricks. Set in Vienna where, in the absence of the Duke, the deputy Angelo is ruling with impeccable stridency, the play is loosely concerned with the fate of the libertine, Claudio, who must pay for an indiscretion with his head in order to serve notice that the law long lax under the Duke, now has new metal in it.

For this week's cover story on his betrothed, Lady Diana Spencer, London Bureau Chief Bonnie Angelo concentrated on the former World's Most Eligible Bachelor. Angelo's first experience as a royalty watcher dates back to 1957, when she covered Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's visit to Canada and Washington. This time she found herself sitting on Prince Charles' right during a recent...
