Testifying before a church trial, Mrs. Brandy told of "committee meetings" (the vicar's euphemism) on the floor in his study, in his bedroom, and in his automobile. Once, she said, when she carelessly left her umbrella in Thomas' car, he left it for her to pick up behind a statue of the Virgin in the vicar's suburban London church in Balham Hill. Nor was Mrs. Brandy the only witness against the vicar. The wife of his curate said that Thomas had grabbed her "and pressed his body into mine" when she visited his study...

Several days later, Elizabeth had a far closer call from an overhead peril. Ordinarily, when she flies in her own realm, her air travel is known as a "purple flight," and all aircraft must avoid her route by ten miles. Flying back home from a visit to Denmark...
...little, Quemoy was provisioned and armed to the beaches with 155-mm. howitzers, mortars and tanks. From Moscow, Khrushchev demanded the fleet's withdrawal on pain of an all-out war. But the U.S. naval escort, keeping carefully outside the international three-mile limit, maintained the needed umbrella for the Chinese Nationalists -and Khrushchev did nothing...
