...House of Commons, still quivering over a woman who had dared to appear in the visitors' gallery wearing purple slacks and bright green shoes, nevertheless decided to condone such costumes.

...Europe, then desperately trying to scramble out of the ruins and the many million graves of World War I, the shy, slack-chinned, bespectacled Prince found himself constantly teetering on the brink of sacrilege. In Paris he went shopping and discovered he needed money, which imperial etiquette forbade him to touch. Iri London's Guildhall he got entangled in the long scroll of a speech he was reading. The audience, undisciplined by Shinto, found it hard to suppress a titter. Hirohito took a subway ride, incognito, and his entourage was horrified when a brusque Cockney conductor berated...
