Once upon a time, princesses automatically married princes or other noblemen, as surely as knights rescued damsels in distress. Not any more - not even British princesses. Last week, Buckingham Palace announced "with the greatest pleasure" the engagement of Queen Elizabeth's only daughter, Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise Windsor, 22, to Lieut. Mark Phillips, 24, a hand some commoner in the Queen's Dragoon Guards...
Phillips, who had been posted with his regiment to West Germany, returned to Britain for the announcement. When he and his honey-blonde fiancée entertained newsmen at Buckingham Palace, the straight-backed cavalry officer confessed that he was "petrified" when he asked Prince Philip's permission for the marriage. Anne, who said the wedding would be some time in November, showed off her engagement ring. "It's pretty simple," she said. "A sapphire in the middle and a diamond on each side."

...save the nation from bankruptcy, Her Majesty's government joins the U.S. in a partnership called USUK. The Union Jack is blended with the Star-Spangled Banner to form one flag. With the Queen as coruler, the President of the U.S. will govern from the White House and Buckingham Palace. Minor injury follows major insult. When gum-chewing, libidinous Marines land to ensure "an orderly transition of power," they shoot a farm dog and rough up farm lads - unforgivable! But worse is yet to come. A toothy American matron out lines a "Cultural Get Together": good Cornish men will...
...Boston Red Sox Manager Eddie Kasko ("A mealymouthed marshmal-low") and Bruin Star Bobby Orr ("He's not the humble, gracious, Bible-touting kid everyone says he is"). While some of their high jinks are sophomoric or just plain silly (they once telephoned the commandant of the Buckingham Palace Guards to ask if he would trade two of Her Majesty's finest for a pair of Patriot guards), WEEI'S triple threats are convinced that "the majority of our opinions are what the fans believe...
...never show up to curse him: he never delivers the speech about how no creature loves him or exhorts his men to follow him "if not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell." And though TCB does have the grace to let him reprove the deep-revolving witty Buckingham for swearing. Pacino mutters the reproof so softly that nobody can hear him. Hastings' head doesn't exactly bounce, but it doesn't exactly terrify either, and why Richard's unfortunate nephews should be so unmistakeably female is a mystery deeper than any of Richard's plots. Possibly someone with...
