...designers working in secrecy: the milliners blocking straw and trimming it with quills; Dress Designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel, holed up in their Mayfair workshop like a couple of atomic scientists, working on Lady Diana's 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.

...with unaccustomed speed to resolve the issue before the July 19 deadline for the return of Iranian assets, as stipulated by the U.S.-Iran agreement. The plaintiff in the case, Dames & Moore, a California engineering firm, was one of some 450 companies seeking a total of $4 billion in breach-of-contract suits against Iran. Contesting the President's authority to make the hostage deal without the consent of Congress, Dames & Moore argued that its provisions represented an unconstitutional "taking" of their property without "just compensation," as required by the Fifth Amendment...
