Felix made the grand tour. Starting out in 1829, he traveled for three years. His greatest successes came in London, for the English liked his music as well as his charm. Queen Victoria and her consort spent many a private evening with him, with Mendelssohn playing Albert's new pipe organ and the prince literally pulling out all the stops...
Accessibility is the essence of her appeal. The usual Dyan Cannon role is that of the good-hearted slattern, the readily available Miss-or Mrs. -next door. In Doctors' Wives, she was a bored spouse on the prowl for fresh medical talent; in The Love Machine, the nympho consort of the head of a giant TV network; in The Anderson Tapes, a high-class prostitute. Now Otto Preminger's Such Good Friends (TIME, Jan. 10) has her bedding down with her dying husband's best friends-how else is a girl going to cope with the discovery...

...Indonesians, and their erstwhile Dutch rulers are neither a dim nor a pleasant memory. Undaunted, peripatetic Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands paid a state visit to Djakarta -the first member of the royal family to do so in more than 130 years. Queen Juliana's 58-year-old consort came away with the nickname "Prince Charming." Kneeling before President Suharto after a state dinner, the Prince bent low and said farewell in traditional Javanese fashion, enclosing the President's hands in his own. Suharto burst into tears...
