Assembled in Stockholm's hauntingly Gothic cathedral were four reigning monarchs (Belgium's King Baudouin, Denmark's Queen Margrethe II, Luxembourg's Grand Duke Jean and Norway's King Olav V), ex-King Constantine of Greece and ex-Tsar Simeon II of Bulgaria, eight princes, ten princesses and other assorted nobility...
...smashing her knee. Still, she arrived in time to handle an interview and a painful curtsy to young Carl XVI Gustaf. Some rulers were unavailable. Since the Lockheed scandal, beleaguered Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands see no member of the press. Norway's sailor King Olav, 72, never gives formal interviews. TIME'S Dag Christensen, also a sailor, saw him recently on the water, where he failed to give Olav's red sloop Bingo right of way on the Oslofjord, and earned an icy glare from his monarch...
...double-edged style and swift undercuts setting off SN's frenzied variety.

In 1960, as he was preparing to go on to graduate school, a friend encouraged him to run for the state legislature. He did and won, several times. By 1969, at the age of 30, he was the youngest returning member of the house. But he had accumulated enough experience and respect from his colleagues to be elected minority leader. In 1972, he became speaker of the house. The job entitles him to a $700-a-year raise, but in order to support his wife...
