...presence of so exalted a person as the Crown Prince Akihito. 24, the young girl who guided his tour of Lake Akan on the northern island of Hokkaido last week had observed the strictest decorum. But suddenly, for no apparent reason at all, she burst into an island song. "The black lily," she crooned, "is the flower of love. Shall I give this flower to you?" Then she presented the surprised prince with a real black lily "to symbolize our hope that he will soon marry a beautiful girl as his princess." The girl who spoke out of turn...
...Western tumbleweeds. Some of the signs, said Robertson, were embarrassingly inept. Example: an 18th century New England Windsor chair-cum-writing-arm artily labeled in three languages as the model of chairs used in "virtually all" U.S. schools today.

To disassociate himself from the dangerous moderns, third-rate Composer Vano Muradeli, 50, chimed in with an expression of gratitude for the Central Committee's "justified criticism...

Copper futures rose briefly; custom smelters boosted their prices 1? to 26? per Ib., and the free market price of copper on the London Metal Exchange rose to 25? per Ib., highest since September 1957, before it fell back. Though domestic stocks of refined copper are 253,463 tons, highest since World War II, traders figured that the stockpiling could cut down the surplus, pave the way for a rise from the 25?-per-lb. price still maintained by primary producers. But copper miners pointed out that any real...
