...most Christian faiths, a couple is wed until death do them part. But a Mormon marriage performed in the temple "seals" a couple for "time and eternity." The reason is that Mormons view every wedding as performed in the image of the first marriage, in which Adam and Eve were wed by God be fore they were banished from the Garden of Eden and made subject to death...
...Wed or Dead. Sandy got her comeuppance during the ill-fated Actors Studio London run in 1965. Playing Irina in Chekhov's Three Sisters after too little rehearsal, she was booed and got the worst roasting of her career. The London Times described Sandy and Kim Stanley, who played another of the sisters, as "ludicrous and painful." Zeroing in on Sandy's speech ("I-er-I-ah"), Critic Bernard Levin of the Daily Mail reported that "I could barely restrain myself from screaming aloud with the pain of my throbbing nerves." Worse, Sandy was bypassed for the screen...
...that time, Sandy had got some solidity in her life. She had always sworn better dead than wed ("My life is on that stage; I am an actress; I can't do both"). But in June 1965, after three weeks' courtship, she married one of the pathfinding composers of modern jazz, Baritone Saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, now 40.

One dissonant note: Sandy is tone-deaf, ignorant of jazz, and the only records she owned were...
Divorce has long been quite acceptable in Britain, but today there is less effort to conceal its causes. Lord Harewood, the 18th in line of succession to the throne, frequently appeared in public with a divorcee who bore him a son while he was still wed to his first wife. Queen Elizabeth, the temporal head of the Church of England, made a concession to the more relaxed morality by deciding to give him royal permission to marry the woman. Even Parliament now eagerly delves into areas that were formerly taboo. Three weeks ago, Commons passed a bill legalizing homosexual acts...
Deutscher, now 60, obviously remains caught up in his love affair with the bitch goddess of the left-international socialist revolution. And even though his love has not only been wed but ravaged by all sorts of adventurers, he still regards her as essentially pure, as innocent as she seemed when she first appeared before him in his youth. It is, he believes, her captors who are to blame. But in so often allowing emotion to obscure fact, myth to overwhelm reality, he only proves once more, alas, that no bourgeois gentleman can be as sentimental as a doctrinaire proletarian...
