Along with Ky came his wife Mai, 24, and the airport crowd crushed forward for a better look as she stepped off the plane, strikingly beautiful in a white silk ao-dai. Then the home team brought up its reinforcement: First Lady Imelda Marcos, 36, Manila's beauty queen in 1954 and still gorgeous.

Unlike his bold and high-living grandfather, Emperor Meiji, who used to select his bed partner by dropping a silk handkerchief in front of a court concubine, Hirohito became a happy family man and refused to take a concubine, even after his Empress gave him four daughters in a row (the fifth child...
