Upon docking in Manhattan on another leg of the honeymoon following a quasi-medieval wedding in Venice (TIME, Oct. 3), a Mexico City Volkswagen salesman, known better to the international set as empireless Prince Alfonso Maximilian Hohenlohe-Langenburg, 31, took a camera and delicately lifted the skirt hem of his voluptuous bride, Princess Virginia Ira Furstenberg, 15, to make a different kind of cheesecake shot for avid tabloid photographers...

Or rather, a number of diverse testaments, each of which answered differently the critical questions facing supporters of world government: Should they work through the U.N.? Skirt it?

She is more likely to turn up in a creation of three seasons ago, with a not-too-notice able grass stain on the skirt. The Dinner Party, written in diary form, records the daily round of a family just moved from the city while husband Charles writes a book. The diarist-heroine achieves an art less air and a malicious ear for the over tones that lurk in unguarded speech...
