Gloria herself sat through the trial sipping endless glasses of water and watching in bewilderment the storm that blew about her head. "All during that trial," she said later, "I kept saying to myself that when I grow up, I'll marry and have a lot of children and I'll love them so much that they'll never be unhappy...

...They're just content to settle down as housewives." Japan's Crown Prince Alcihrro turned 21, enjoyed a rare reunion with his family (court protocol requires that crown princes grow up virtual strangers to their parents), then was off for a round of tea parties in his honor. Sobersided Akihito unbent enough to show the whimsy lurking beneath his royal aloofness.
