...into the royal Rolls-Royce without destroying her 2-ft-high headdress. What to do? His Highness Prince Rainier simply ordered a truck, the couple settled onto its carpeted floor, and they chugged off to a Dîner de Têtes at the newly decorated Salon des Amériques in the Monte Carlo Casino. Naturally, the Princess was the center of attention in the towering-12-lb. headdress, constructed of gold wire with gilded latticework decorated with tinkling bells. "I feel like Radio Monte Carlo with all those antennas sticking out of my head," said...

Among the changes: the Nixons plan to hold interdenominational prayer services in the mansion.

There, he discovers a troupe of junketing European aristocrats, including Brigitte Bardot, Jack Hawkins and Honor Blackman, sipping drinks with pinkies extended, trading salon witticisms and plugging mountain lions from close range. Classic examples of the unspeakable pursuing the uneatable, the hunters blithely pooh-pooh Connery's warning that the Injuns are on a scalptingling expedition. Miffed, Shalako sulks off to wait for the redskins to do their worst to the unwary tourists...
