...down to a bridge by the River Dee on Queen Elizabeth II's Scottish estate. There they tarried for a session with about 50 photographers and reporters. Asked whether she made breakfasts fit for a King, Diana replied: "I don't eat breakfast." When presented with a bouquet of white heather, roses and carnations, she smiled graciously, then cocked her head and inquired: "All on your expense accounts?" The Balmoral bout yielded thousands of pictures, but that was not the kind of prints charming Diana had in mind, and so the session may be the last...
...wedding gown, plus two or three backup designs in case of a breach in security; the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, one of London's ancient guilds (founded in 1345, thank you), which was given the task of assigning one of its members to concoct the wedding bouquet. Think about Major Julien T.

And I even detected--though this may be a mistaken impression--a certain cooling of Bond's ardour for romantic digression. This may be a concession to Moore's advancing years, though...
...must remind oneself that human beings-actors, actually-are also involved in the enterprise. Carole Bouquet (23, long dark hair, Aegean-blue eyes, lissome frame) is the love interest, and more: a warrior goddess who saves Bond's life at least as often as he saves hers, and a welcome addition to this summer's gallery of can-do heroines. Topol, as the wily Greek smuggler Columbo, should be in the "Guinness Book of Word Wreckers"; he is perhaps the first performer to demonstrate the art of overacting by chewing pistachio nuts...
