...dingy Caxton Hall, a kind of London equivalent of a U.S. city hall, Anthony Eden, 55, and Clarissa Spencer-Churchill, 32, niece of Britain's Prime Minister, became man & wife last week. Eden's divorce from his first wife, the former Beatrice Beckett,* excluded him from the morning-coated church wedding that Britons expect of their well born and highly placed...

Both were nicely fixed up with central heating, modern plumbing and old family retainers to look after them...
Malory, Mallore, Mallery. For four centuries, Sir Thomas, author of Morte Darthur and thus literature's main source for the King Arthur legends, had been nothing but a name in Caxton's 1485 edition. Then, in the late 19th Century, Harvard's famed George Lyman Kittredge began poring over the records of every likely Malory, Mallore, Maulore, Mallere, Malure, Mallery, and Maleore in 15th Century England. After months of investigation, he finally fixed on Sir Thomas Malory of Warwickshire, a member of the Earl of Warwick's retinue during the Hundred Years...
