NOBODY is mad at monarchy these days. Britain's angry John Osborne can sneer: "My objection to the royal symbol is that it is dead; it is the gold filling in a mouthful of decay." But that was nearly a decade ago, and even Osborne has simmered down since. Antiroyalism was once such an embattled issue that even Americans-who basically adore royalty-could echo Mark Twain's dictum: "There was never a throne which did not represent a crime."

The sequence of events that led to the Longo-Lolli resignations, said an editorial in the left-of-center Republican Party newspaper La Voce Republicana last week, could be "an error whose consequences could be irreparable...
...Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Scranton, Bayonne and Coney Island. The forces arrayed against her were formidable, and formidably unchivalrous. At the hands of defensive saloonkeepers, Carry suffered nearly as much damage as she dealt. One annoyed publican in Bangor, Me., knocked her down four times, and a gold breast pin was molded for the Topeka bartender's wife who slugged Carry...
