...harbor. Carillons throughout the city began to peal, and a company of Dutch marines marched up to the palace to the tune of Colonel Bogie March. In wave upon wave, the royal procession proceeded to the town hall, silver-helmeted motorcyclists, limousines with the visiting kings and queens, six glittering coaches for the bridal couple, Queen Juliana, Prince Bernhard and their three younger daughters, and Claus's widowed mother, together with rank upon rank of blue-uniformed cavalry officers with high fur busbies. Said a watching Dutchman: "We look more military than the Germans...
Wilhelmina's Diadem. Beatrix herself had never looked happier, more poised-or prettier. Dressed in a white silk gown with a 15-ft. train, a huge diamond brooch, and the same pearl-and-diamond diadem that her grandmother, Queen Wilhelmina, had worn, she was first married to Claus in a private civil ceremony by Burgomeister Gijsbertus van Hall.

One reason for the market's weakness is that the foreigners have been selling. Last year they sold $409 million more than they...
...unprecedented jamboree for the visiting lion of liberty. He was given splendid receptions, pronounced "noble" by the poet laureate, and half a million Londoners yelled their heads off. He had the good sense and bad taste to wear his red shirt nearly everywhere. There were only two sour notes. Queen Victoria was "deeply shocked" by the high-level attention paid to this subverter of established order. Karl Marx, then organizing the First International in England, huffed: "A miserable spectacle of imbecility...
