...stranger, like the brown-eyed baby's mother, came from Georgia in the wild, fierce south of Russia?a land of authentic brigands who sniped at Tsarist officials from behind romantic mountain crags and unromantically ignored Georgia's pink & purple sunsets. As she grew to childhood, the locksmith's daughter knew her father's friend, the future Dictator of Russia, by his Georgian nicknames. "Soso" and "Koba."

As a wedding present the Town of Coburg last week gave a double-bottomed cradle (with Coburg soil between the bottoms) to pink and pretty Princess Sibylle Calma Maria Alicia Bathildis Feodora von Saxe-Coburg-und-Gotha.
