All Monaco broke loose. Rockets zoomed, sirens screamed, dockside trolleys klaxoned, cannon fired 21-gun salutes. Ashore, the crowd-Mone-gasques, outlanders and the cream of world jewel thievery-dutifully roared. Overhead, a seaplane belonging to Sea Lord Aristotle Socrates Onassis, controlling croupier of Monte Carlo's famed Casino, bombarded Grace and His Serene Highness with...
