...magnolia blossoms, at Billy Carter's place north of Plains. To the strains of the wedding march, Billy and his daughter Jana strode over a bridge built across the pool for the occasion. The bride wore white. Billy outdid the swans in his ruffled shirt and his pale, cream-colored tuxedo with brown piping and a broad brown stripe down each trouser leg. His hair is rapidly turning gray now, and he wept a little as he gave his 18-year-old daughter away to 19-year-old Johnny Theus, who works in an Americus mobile-home factory...
...marriage was dead, friends say, by 1974, when Margaret met Roddy Llewellyn, the pale, slight son of Lieut. Colonel Henry Llewellyn, a champion equestrian. After the two went on a much-publicized trip to the Caribbean island of Mustique in 1976, Margaret and Snowdon legally separated. Braving the ire of her sister, Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret continued to be seen in public with Roddy. When the pair spent their fourth holiday in Mustique last March, the British press headlined its disapproval while some Members of Parliament ominously asserted that the princess, by neglecting her public duties, was not earning...
...Brezhnev's driving. I presented him with a dark blue Lincoln Continental. He got behind the wheel. The head of my Secret Service detail went pale as I climbed in and we took off down one of the narrow roads that run around the perimeter of Camp David.

Brezhnev was driving more than 50 miles an hour...
...light and material had already produced the best new museum building in America−the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, opened in 1972. Kahn accepted the job and designed a four-story box, dedicated to light: a building without gimmicks or stylistic narcissism, low-keyed but explicit, whose pale concrete, blond wood and natural linen wall coverings provided a strictly subordinate background to the paintings. (The architect never lived to see it finished; he died in 1974.) This unpretentious exactness of taste was much in keeping with Mellon's general style of philanthropy: the ambition being, a phrase...
...living with Violet and finally wedding her.) Malle also has an acute aesthetic sense; his other films have been very painterly in their effects and often masterful in their compositions. But in his other films, the richness of photography served to evoke his themes. In Lacombe, Lucien, the pale yellows and faded textures reflected the sultry French provincial world where even fascism unfolds at a meandering pace. And in a sleeper called The Thief of Paris, the visual opulence and use of decorative objects created just the sort of decadent bourgeois dreamworld that Malle's meant to attack...
