The delegate representing the haL'-square-mile domain of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace was Monaco's commissioner general of tourism, Gabriel Olivier, who arrived with a secretary and a head cold.

As one of the largest sponsors of TV weather programs (36 on local stations in the East), the Atlantic Refining Co. has tried...
