...quietly about business and the weather. The Grand Duchess Charlotte rarely ever mingles with her guests; at the receptions in her toylike palace, she prefers to remain secluded in a small side room.

But reforms, if any, will not do him any good, he says; "neither . . . investigations, decrees nor edicts . . . can bring me back to life as a competitive factor in the oil marketing business...
Last week the first of some 60.000 other visitors-Danes on their bikes, Hollanders in hobnailed boots, American girls in nylon dresses-were" also gorging themselves on musical goodies as long as they could stay at the table. With a swirl and a flourish down the Royal Mile, Edinburgh's third and already famed International Festival of Music and Drama was under...
