...procession, almost two hours long, of soldiers in their dressiest uniforms, bards dressed in swirling blue-and-green togas, Welsh politicians in robes of office and British officials, including Prime Minister Harold Wilson, KEYSTONE in morning clothes. The royal family itself was rather subdued. Queen Elizabeth, carrying an Edwardian parasol, was done up in pale gold. Prince Philip wore the dark blue, braided uniform of a field marshal. Prince Charles, who waited in the Chamberlain tower until formally summoned by his mother, wore the No. 1 blues of the New Royal Regiment of Wales, of which he is colonel...
...there on location in Malta were a lot of people the new starlet probably hadn't met before. For instance, George Jessel played The Presence, who follows Hieronymous, wears ivory suits with ivory lace shirts and ivory ties, carries an ivory parasol, and goes through Borscht Belt jokes (very well, if you like them) at several crucial points. Milton Berle was the devil, Mr. Goodtime Eddie Filth, who honest-to-God baked big-breasted sex in a private oven and also hand cranked the shaft that turned Mercy's Merry-go Round...

In 1524, jealous Arab merchants, accusing the Jews of trying to take over the pepper trade, stirred up a holy war against the community by Indian natives. Cranganore was sacked, its homes and synagogue burned...
Apologetic Points. Next day it was back to Pnompenh for an audience with the Prince's mother, Queen Sisowath Kossomak. It took place in the Royal Throne Room, a fairy-tale chamber of nine-tiered parasols that shield a great gold throne beneath ceilings depicting ancient Asian tales incongruously set against French classical landscapes. After an exchange of gifts, Jackie was escorted outside under a purple parasol to feed the royal elephants, whose grasping trunks she approached gingerly...
Calm and seemingly cool in 90° heat, the young woman walked down the red carpet at Pnompenh's Pochentong Airport, escorted by Cambodia's Prince Norodom Sihanouk, all smiles and a torrent of French. An exotically garbed palace guard held a giant green parasol over their heads to screen them from the afternoon sun, and 200 schoolgirls in bright green sampots, the traditional skirts, sprinkled her path with fragrant rose and jasmine petals, which they carried in silver bowls-the Buddhist way, explained Sihanouk, of honoring very special guests...
