She and slim, sporting Prince Consort "Benno." who knows his way around Europe's swank pleasure spots, were said on their honeymoon to have "frequently eaten heartily, as both are fond of food, and wanted to try the delicacies of different countries." So perhaps it was pace which slimmed Princess Juliana, whose latest pictures show...

Top story on the printed rating list, which is consulted when all players have "gone to press," is the abdication of Edward VIII: 1,000,000 credits. Bottom story is Hitler's farewell to Prince Bernhard ("Benno") zu Lippe-Biesterfeld departing from Germany to marry Holland's Crown Princess : 0 credits. Penalties are exacted for using libelous material; "rewrites" of "scoops" in papers already gone to press; pressagent commercial blurbs.
