...Dutch-born Johan Franco. During the hour-long tintinnabulation, the principals and their guests will arrive under the unblinking scrutiny of TV. Inside-mercifully beyond reach of electronic peeping-the company and a pool of newsmen will see the father of the bride decked out in the formal regalia, morning coat and striped trousers, that he refused to don for the presidential inauguration in 1965. While the organist plays Paraphrase on a Trumpet Tune by Henry Purcell, the wedding party-mostly young friends and schoolmates of the bride and groom-will shepherd its charge up a 400-ft. marble aisle...

In full regalia, she looked like Lyndon B. Johnson dressed up as Elizabeth...
...longer treated as though he did not exist. In fact, his name was cheered last week when Brezhnev mentioned the late dictator in a Moscow speech. Marshal Zhukov, in oblivion for almost eight years since Khrushchev fired him as Defense Minister, also appeared, and was photographed in full military regalia last week. A Soviet law journal published an astonishing article recently, suggesting that the time had come for Soviet voters to have not one name but a choice of candidates on their ballots...
