In the big cities the headlines were beginning to roar the news, OUR MAN KISSED THE BRIDE, brayed the New York Post in a Page-One banner. "It's the happiest meal I've ever eaten!" bubbled Marilyn. She impulsively bussed Arthur Miller, who husked: "It couldn't be better. We are married, and now the world...
