...case, estimated to cost at least $1.5 million. Between the lowly spud and the regal ice are such newlywed staples as goblets, china, tableware, pots and pans, a microwave oven, a vacuum cleaner-but no toaster. Nonessentials included a 2-ft.-long solid gold dhow from Bahrain and a Steuben glass bowl from President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan. In the campy department are matching terry bathrobes with Charles and Diana stitched on their backs prizefighter style, a gift from Bridesmaid Clementine Hambro...

The budget for a typical Dallas episode approaches $700,000, one of the highest in TV, but all the money is on the screen...
That was no Red Headed Stranger standing in the Oval Office in braids and denim pants. That was outlaw Country Star Willie Nelson presenting President Carter with a Steuben bowl for the President's efforts on behalf of country music. The award was recently created to honor people who make unique contributions to country music, and when the votes for the first recipient were counted, Carter was told, "lo and behold, your name led all the rest." Considering some of the other polls the President has been reading lately, that was sweet music indeed...
