...imperial crown and velvet robes were missing. So was the ride from Buckingham Palace to Westminster in the horse-drawn state coach. Instead, Queen Elizabeth, wearing the same sapphire-blue coat she wore at Princess Anne's recent wedding, drove to the House of Lords to open the new Parliament last week in an ordinary black limousine. The absence of spectacle was something of an accident; there simply had not been enough time to prepare the customary pageantry for the Queen, who had interrupted an official visit to Australia to anoint the election winner. Nonetheless, the austere mood reflected...
...Jones was photographed giving her a soulful kiss, Millionaire Peter Revson was seen squiring her around, and last month, after a tiff, Britain's swinging Soccer Star George Best allegedly broke into Marjorie's London apartment and stole her passport, checkbook, correspondence, liquor and her fur coat, plus other miscellaneous loot. The British organizers of the contest decided that Marjorie's idea of being single was giving "the wrong impression."

It is painted with a high, pale elegance that altogether removes it from the common run of romantic-symbolist cliche...
...earliest models, which consisted of two wooden boxes, one sliding inside the other. "It may amuse, Mother, to try to photograph," they wrote her fondly. Little did they guess. At first Mother could hardly tell the difference between treacle and collodion, the sticky fluid used to coat her glass negatives. But she had an eye and the kind of cast-iron ego that always stands a photographer in good stead. "Few could withstand the extreme fury of her affection," Virginia Woolf wrote in the preface to the first edition in 1926 of Victorian Photographs, recalling Mrs. Cameron...
