...should be treated only with reverence and respect in print has long vanished, and the British press has recently enjoyed peppering journalistic buckshot through the royal carcasses. Henry VIII might have solved such a problem by beheading the critics-a solution the Daily Express lampooned in a sly Giles cartoon (see cut). It is a measure of monarchy's waning power that in modern England a prince's only recourse is to lose his temper...
...virtues of undisciplined living and childlike, unprejudiced perceptivity, is a whimsical creator himself. Originator of the nebbish, Gardner has one television play, one novel, and one (the program tells all) outstanding short story to his credit. This play mustn't be a lone effort.

...Hoots Then, Wumman!" Were they lovers? Tinsley's Magazine for October 1868 reported that the English gentry jokingly referred to the Queen (then 49) as "Mrs. Brown." Punch ran a satirical Court Circular detailing the doings of Mr. John Brown; another magazine published a cartoon of John Brown lolling against a vacant throne; a scurrilous pamphlet, "Mrs. John Brown," was circulated, with the claim that they were morganatic man and wife...
