Inside the palace compound in Tokyo, a $38 million ceremonial hall is now abuilding for him, and a $27,000 Nissan Royal limousine has just been added to the royal fleet of three Rolls-Royces, a Daimler, a Cadillac and a Mercedes. The irreverent young in the big cities question the point of keeping a royal family, but oldsters still burst into tears at the sight of their ex-god's expressionless face...

Into Rawalpindi flew Red Chinese President Liu Shao-chi and Foreign Minister Chen Yi for five days of talks and ceremonies. They were swept through Rawalpindi in a bubble-topped yellow Daimler amid flower-throwing crowds that accorded the Chinese the warmest welcome since Sheik Abdullah, "the Lion of Kashmir," visited two years...
