Valentine's Day, for example, is a house of cards about a young bachelor publisher who likes a white fuzzy drink called Cotton Gin and keeps a portable fireplug in his Jaguar XKE to help create parking spaces. Last week he was publishing a book called The Fraudulent Female, which claimed that women criminally exaggerate the burden of housework.

The Thunderbird trailing behind was tooling along at the usual fast pace of its owner, Greece's dashing bachelor King Constantine, 24, with his sister, Princess Irene, 22, and it did not stop on a drachma.
