...Hepplewhite chairs in the dining room. The President's bedroom is off-white with a three-quarter mahogany sleigh bed, a mahogany bureau, and a red and white slipcovered lounge chair; Jackie's bedroom has twin beds, a French desk, and is papered in a mixed pink-on-white flower print. Outdoors, one modern contraption terrifies passersby: a hidden, wired loudspeaker, manned by a security detail, that thunders "What do you want?" at would-be visitors. In spite of Glen Ora's baronial atmosphere, some presidential staffers have complained that it offers no place to loll about...
...triple wedding in Rabat's ornate Riad Palace last week was a fairly traditional Moslem affair. But King Hassan II departed from ancient convention: he wore a dark business suit while looking on from his pink throne. The three princesses all went through intricate prenuptial purification ceremonies, including a ritual dousing administered by female attendants. At the ceremony itself, they all wore veils.

Behind tight-shut gates covered by pink curtains gathered 18 members of the cathedral's Great Chapter, led by Dean Walter Matthews. With appropriate portentousness, the dean questioned the assemblage: Should the election be "by acclamation, by scrutiny or by compromise"? It was decided that it should be "by scrutiny," i.e., secret ballot. And that was odd, as Tweedledum might say, because the Bishop of Peterborough, Robert W. Stopford, had already been chosen...
...even in "those terrible days of wild drink" in the 1870s, when the WCTU gained momentum in Chicago under the embattled leadership of Frances E. Willard. Then the crusade against strong drink was part of the war between men and women; now the women seem to bend their pink elbows as much...
