...Manhattan's chic Cote Basque-and then swept the bride-to-be off in her chauffeured Rolls to start an afternoon round of shopping. Julie went to Bonniers, Bonwit Teller and Bendel's. Julie's wedding shoes, low-heeled white satin pumps with tiny seed-pearl bows in the back, come from Bendel's. Priscilla of Boston, who produced Luci Baines Johnson's 1966 wedding to Patrick Nugent, rounded up the wedding gown, bridesmaids' dresses and trousseau. The bridesmaids will wear pink...

He felt no qualms, however, in dealing with eight Nazi agents smuggled into the country in 1942, and demanded stiff sentences (six were executed).
