...placid surface of Queen Wilhelmina's personal life of late has been the acquisition of a son-in-law in Prince Bernhard zu Lippe-Biesterfeld, whose line has not enjoyed temporal sovereignty in the hilly little Principality of Lippe-Detmold since 1849. Nobody in The Netherlands had ever heard of the Prince before his engagement to Juliana was announced, but all knew that he must fit the proper specifications of a Prince Consort.

Far more serious is "acute altitude sickness," caused by decrease in the pressure of the oxygen breathed at high altitudes. Altitude sickness, says Dr. Armstrong, is a tough problem. Few people ever feel its painful symptoms while aloft, even though its serious effects may begin at altitudes as low as 9,000 feet.
