...last week's maiden transatlantic crossing of the Queen Elizabeth 2 (oneway fares: $490 to $3,000), the VIP list read like a page from the London telephone directory and the formal wear was mostly rented. Newspaper reporters divided their attention between F.D.R.'s youngest son John and a passenger notable chiefly for having made 22 previous crossings. Desperately, they wove vignettes from such unpromising material as the pet white mouse in a first-class stateroom, the ship's minor collision with a whale, and a vicar selling oak trees to reforest Sherwood Forest.

Tiny Tricia (she's working at bringing her weight up to 100 Ibs.) went through an exhausting round of receptions and luncheons in a series of winsome minidresses, then gave the town fathers and mothers a mild shock by showing up for the coronation in her own gown instead of the one provided by the city. There to bestow the crown was her proud father, who stole a few hours away from the White...
