The sports-minded princess enjoys ice skating and skiing, though her great interests are music, literature and theater. Christina's yen to be a "Cliffie" took shape last December after chats in Stockholm with Harvard's Nobel Prizewinning biochemist, J. D. Watson. "She will be a real asset," said Watson.
