Married. Princess Fatmeh of Iran, 21, U.S. educated (Converse College, S.C.) daughter of the late Shah Mohamed Riza Pahlevi, youngest sister of the ruling Shah of Iran; and Vincent Lee Hillyer, 24, son of a Los Banos, Calif, doctor; in Civitavecchia, Italy.

At the Cadillac factory he asked final-assembly workers so many questions that cars began coming off the end of the line unfinished.
