It's even getting so that members of the local Scillonian Club are feeling nervous about calling him "Harold" anymore. Returning from a twelve-day honeymoon on Marco Island, off Florida's west coast, and Nassau, New York City's Mayor Robert Wagner, 55, made a politic assessment of the stewardship of his bride, Barbara Cavanagh Wagner, in the kitchen cabinet.
