...Central Asia. Her dreams seemed to come ro mantically true last March when she married Sikkim's Crown Prince Palden Thondup Namgyal in a now-legendary ceremony at the capital city of Gangtok (TIME, March 23). Last week, when the crown prince's 70-year-old father, Maharajah Sir Tashi Namgyal, died of cancer in a Calcutta nursing home, Hope and her husband mounted the throne of the mountain-locked Himala yan kingdom. The formal coronation will take place after one year's mourning, the precise date to be calculated by the court astrologers...
...millionaire's daughter is a Vassar girl, and she needs a noble savage for her life studies. A scheming maharajah helps her trap a fake abominable snowman, whom she brings caged to Chicago. She dresses him up like Rock Hudson, seduces him and shows him off to a menagerie of North Shore friends at a cocktail party.

No wedding vows were spoken; the couple merely exchanged 12-ft.-long white silk scarves, which were hung around each other's neck to seal their marriage contract...
...cases of alcoholism or mismating outside the tribe. Mother worries that Decker might get hooked on a starlet and bring on Jerry Giesler with a paternity case. Sister has already married a mathematician from Cal Tech, who appears to her as a wonderful being, "exotic and remote as a maharajah"-but who makes less money than the gardener. Decker's father-still hung up on a bogus buddyhood with war cronies-is a martini-oiled mechanism, a country-club wine-and-food snob and bore. His grandfather is a picture of the indignity of a foolish old age. After...
