With this powerful endorsement the ware quickly came to be recognized not only for its practical value, but for its collectibility as well. Lady Diana's father, Earl Spencer, as well as Queen Elizabeth, are among its present day patrons. At Windsor Castle there is an entire room which carries, and honors, the name--The Wedgwood Room. Josiah's words were, at last, prophetic, when he said in his Experiment Book, "I saw the field was spacious, and the soil was good, as to promise an ample recompense to any who should labour diligently in its cultivation...
Still, the children are not solely to blame for this dreary adaptation of Scott Spencer's novel, which made such an interesting case for madness in love, demonstrating that it is preferable-whatever the cost-to safe "meaningful relation ships."

...ever a prince enchanted an imperial city, Britain's Prince Charles did so last week on his first visit to New York for a gala benefit in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Ballet. With Lady Diana Spencer, 19, back in London preparing for the royal wedding on July 29, it was the last official jaunt to the U.S. as a bonnie bachelor for Prince Charles, 32. But it was not without problems. Never far away during his 24-hour stay were shouting throngs of I.R.A. sympathizers. A small army of 1,700 New York City police...
