Born. To Crown Prince Harald of Norway, 36, son of King Olav V, 70, and a great-great-grandson of Britain's Queen Victoria; and Crown Princess Sonja, 36, a dress merchant's daughter who married Harald in 1968 in spite of King Olav's opposition: their second child, a hoped-for prince; in Oslo...

Worst torture of all, perhaps, is that the poor struggling wretches must listen to Lionheart declaim passages from the pertinent play before he kills them. Besides Price, who is at his most enjoyably fulsome, the large cast includes...
