...TIME bureau in London, the wedding celebration was the climax of a story that had been building since Lady Diana first tripped into the limelight eleven months ago. Correspondent Mary Cronin observed the wedding party from the Victoria Memorial across from Buckingham Palace. Inside St. Paul's Cathedral, London Bureau Chief Bonnie Angelo sat directly behind the royal family, hidden from public view by columns.

...inevitable that Nanda should be expelled from this rarefied world. The occasion is the discovery of a novel she is writing. It is intended as a heroic celebration of God, with sundry evildoers redeemed at the climax by divine power. Alas, the manuscript, nowhere near completion, is found by a nun during a routine snoop through desks. Nanda's tearful pleas are in vain. Says Reverend Mother: "I have watched something growing in you-a hard little core of self-will and self-love." The gates clang shut...
