Margaretta ("Happy") Murphy, 36, wearing a pale blue dress of silk shantung and carrying a bouquet of spring flowers, and Nelson Rockefeller, 54, were married by the Rev. Marshall L. Smith, a Presbyterian who is pastor of the interdenominational Union Church of Pocantico Hills. Margaretta is also a Presbyterian; Rockefeller is a Baptist.

Warhol is known for his literal renditions of soup cans, his rows of Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor and Troy Donahue.

For Lafayette's triumphal farewell to America, joyous peasants stand waving in the courtyards of thatched cottages, little girls pelt the hero with flowers, Washington says "And now we part, Mushoor luh Markee," and all that is missing is toasts in Pouilly-Fuisse...
...those who would rather sink than swim, Frankfurt Engineer Hanns Trippel has produced a one-man submarine which was the hit of the recent West Berlin In ternational Boat Show. Made of a glass-silk polyester, the U24 weighs only 485 Ibs., and its four six-volt batteries drive it at about five knots on the surface, slightly faster under water. The U24 can dive as deep as 98 ft., is equipped with an oxygen supply and an air-washing system that allows submersion for eight hours at a time. Dealer Erich Mylius of Hamburg reports more than 500 orders...
