...HARD DAY'S NIGHT. The Beatles hit their nimble stride in a smooth, fresh, surprisingly funny comedy that is the answer to a maiden's prayer, and then some...
Alighting at the church, the Queen gave a motherly jerk at the bridegroom's tunic to smooth a remaining wrinkle. Looking slightly dazzled as any 18-year-old bride might, Anne-Marie followed in a coach with her father, Denmark's King Frederik, nearly tripped on the 18-ft. train of her white duchesse satin gown as she stepped down from the carriage.

Walter Reuther rather proudly paraphrased Winston Churchill to declare that "never have so few with so much offered so little to so many." Later Reuther managed to bring Christ to the bargaining table by asserting that He "would have given the most militant trade-union argument you ever heard." At week's end Reuther decided to increase pressure on the auto companies by delaying until...
