...fellow worshipers formed a circle around them and chanted the ancient Hindu mantra "om," the bride and bridegroom watched the priest and priestess and their helpers conjure into their midst the gods and goddesses of the four elements-air, water, earth and fire...
...Roaring Twenties roles? Or is it the same features that made her Britain's trendy fashion model a decade ago: her boyish charm? Twiggy was a kind of '20s bopper in The Boy Friend eight years ago. Now she is a genuine flapper in There Goes the Bride.

...national historic site, where he lies buried. "I'm trying to shave off as many obligations, duties and responsibilities as I can," explains the former First Lady. She will continue to enjoy the L.BJ. Ranch on the Pedernales River to which she first came as a bride in 1934. Still, the territory to be sold was added with "much love and thrill and happiness and adventure." In two great trees are hooks that held one of the President's favorite hammocks. Then there is the stone house where "we'd always have a Christmas party with roaring...
