...last, in the mirrored, gold and white Empire Hall of the royal palace, the burgomaster of Brussels performed the civil ceremony. Then the entourage-one King, two ex-Kings, nine princes, twelve princesses and the royal family's one private guest, Bishop Fulton Sheen of Manhattan (a close friend of Leopold's and Liliane's)-drove through the cheering streets to the five-century-old St. Gu dule Church. There a shaky but beautiful bride, alternating between stifled giggles and sobs, and a grim, nervous but handsome groom in a resplendent new uniform of a naval commander...

Throughout, Jonah juggles the symbols of his success-the bagful of mutes through which he makes his trumpet whisper and wail, growl, shiver and soar...
...sturdily built man with curly, close-cropped hair and a smile that flashes like a beacon light, Quesada, 55, inherited his Spanish father's dark good looks and his Irish mother's charm and temper. He can be blunt or suave-but in either case he is likely to know what he is talking about. A pilot since he was 20, he has flown every type of Air Force plane, has been checked out to pilot the huge KC-135 jet tanker. Quesada wields more power than any U.S. air administrator before him: all the duties...
