...pretty lady and holding her hand behind her husband's back." And oo, la, la, generally speaking, was Washington's reaction last week to news that one of Holmes's most libertarian successors on the Supreme Court, William O. Douglas, 67, had taken as his fourth bride blonde, blue-eyed Cathleen Heffernan, a 23-year-old senior at Portland's all-girl Marylhurst College...

The design (an exclusive from Dallas' Neiman-Marcus) will be kept...
...presents, meanwhile, keep pouring in. Scores have been politely returned to the senders: the manufacturers offering kitchen equipment, the sentimentalists asking the bride to wear their ancient lace. Others have been politely accepted: a set of coasters, decorated with pebbles, from a New Jersey elementary school; a sheet and pillow cases hand-tatted by a 15-year-old Rochester girl; a cake plate lovingly decorated by an elderly woman in the Midwest. Luci has also reaped a harvest of gifts from two bridal showers-one in Waukegan, the other in Washington. At the latter, the bride-to-be received enough...
