...Margaret paid her royal respects to the cast, and any scandal sniffers tempted to read significance into the sometime absence of her husband, Lord Snowdon, might well be discouraged by the catalogue of false rumors about her sister, Queen Elizabeth II, culled from the French press by Jean Marcilly, ex-editor in chief of France Dimanche. In Marcilly's survey, French papers have had the Queen pregnant 92 times, with nine miscarriages. She has been about to break up with Prince Philip 73 times, on the verge of abdicating 63 times, and near a nervous breakdown 32 times...

One restrained critic was Canon Lewis John Collins of London's St. Paul's Cathedral, a leading British unilateral disarmer who was accompanied on the trip from London by such other ban-the-bombers as anti-American Pundit Kingsley Martin, ex-editor of the New Statesman and Nation, and Physicist John D.
