By day, Margaret will have plenty of time to entertain girl friends at gossip fests in her rooms at the palace. Of an evening, she may go with a few carefully chosen girls and young men to the theater and a nightclub. The one thing she must not do is act like a commoner...

Doctors believed that he would stay free of the disease, but tests would continue for a year. The girl seemed a little better, but it was much too early to tell whether the Sing Sing experiment was a new milestone in the fight against leukemia or just another baffling failure...
