...which gleefully provided the vaguely Louis XVI set and wardrobe. To build ratings, the ceremony was delayed through an insufferable hour with Diller and Singer Florence Henderson. The rites were relatively decorous-and held down to ten minutes so that there were no commercial interruptions. The cameras stayed discreetly behind the couple as they vowed "to be sweet, gentle, kind, patient, not puffed up, charitable, slow to anger and swift to forgive...

The Redskins, who had not enjoyed a winning season since 1955, had by week's end fashioned a 7-4-2 record to clinch a second-place finish behind Dallas in the N.F.L.'s Capitol Division. Good as that was, Lombardi was not satisfied: "Let's not get all worked up about this team. We still have a long way to go, and a lot of areas need shoring...
