Sitting before her television set one day last week, Mrs. Luke Choplin of Independence, Mo. watched with fascination as Prince Rainier took Grace Kelly for his bride. While Mrs. Choplin kept her eye on far-off Monaco, linemen toiled away equipping her house with extra telephone wires to accommodate a New York Times reporter who had arranged to use the Choplin home as a communications center on Margaret Truman's wedding...
...Also meeting in Washington was the American Society of Newspaper Editors, getting the big speakers and claiming the big, black headlines. Busy being the father of the bride in Missouri was the top Democratic crowd-getter, Harry Truman, who used to pack the armory (capacity 5,000).

...correspondents to France were in Monaco, goggling at Grace Kelly and her Prince (see PEOPLE), when the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Council met in Paris last week.

Ashore, the crowd-Mone-gasques, outlanders and the cream of world jewel thievery-dutifully roared. Overhead, a seaplane belonging to Sea Lord Aristotle Socrates Onassis, controlling croupier of Monte Carlo's famed Casino, bombarded Grace and His Serene Highness with...
Dwarfed by the hulking form of the American Export liner Constitution, a crowd of hundreds thronged Pier 84 in Manhattan one foggy day last week. Man, woman and teen-ager alike, they were waiting for a glimpse of the movie queen (Grace Patricia Kelly) who was sailing to Monaco to wed the reigning Prince (His Serene Highness Rainier III). Two hours before sailing time, Grace arrived in a black limousine, wearing a beige wool suit, a white straw hat shaped like a mushroom, and a radiant look. Not far to the rear came a retinue of 80-friends, relatives, business...
