...house her haul. Catherine built a series of apartments adjoining Leningrad's baroque Winter Palace, set up a hanging garden filled with orange trees (that were hustled inside for the winter), and coyly nicknamed the place her "little hermitage."

Anglo-French salvage vessels have all but cleared away a third at Port Said. Last week U.N. salvage ships, including British...
