...Crown Prince Akihito, 39, and Princess Michiko, 39, left Tokyo's Togu Palace for a ten-day official tour of Spain, their daughter, Nori, 4, planted on her mother's cheek the first public Imperial kiss. While the royal family does occasionally come out from behind its chrysanthemum curtain-Empress Nagako was recently permitted to exhibit her water-colors-such decadent occidentalism as kissing in public was unprecedented.

Fighting the new coastal requirements will be more difficult, though one Californian is making a spectacular try in court. Rudolph Esau, a partner in the Santa Barbara chrysanthemum-growing firm of Marina Mums Inc., explains that his plans to build greenhouses on his shoreline property are stymied by the new rules.

Up she floated, 60 ft., bobbing in the wind; then the peripheral ends of the tubes were released from the ground. Slowly the huge fronds swung vertically, shining in the klieg lights, and the whole sculpture rose to 150 ft. Says Piene: "We pulled...
...group who are married, it would have been better if someone had given them a gross of prophylactics, locked them in a motel room for two weeks, and let them get it out of their systems." Boys and girls together reject the post-Renaissance notion that passion, like a chrysanthemum, blooms best when vigorously pinched off. Says Sybil Burton Christopher, who married 25-year-old Bandleader Jordan Christopher after Richard Burton left her for Liz Taylor: "They're breaking away from the unrealities of romantic love to get at the core of love...
