Close to Tears. "Long Live the King, Long Live the Queen," roared the throngs as Baudouin and his bride went to the throne room of the Palace of Brussels for the civil-marriage ceremony prescribed by Belgian law. An estimated 150 million watched the pageant on a Europe-wide TV hookup. Fabiola was nervous.

...productive mints ever installed behind a marquee. Otto Preminger's much-flacked-about film version of Leon Uris' forest-felling novel-it lasted 80 weeks on the bestseller lists and moved almost 4,000,000 copies-has all the production values expected in an epic: full color, wide screen, 45,000 extras, ten name players (Paul Newman, Eva Marie Saint, Sir Ralph Richardson, Peter Lawford, Lee J. Cobb, Sal Mineo, John Derek, Hugh Griffith, Gregory Ratoff, Felix Aylmer). What's more, it got these advantages at a spectacularly reduced rate. Shot on the cheap in Israel...
