The more speed the board is able to effect towards accomplishment of its plans the better the public will be pleased, we think, and, as soon as it gets the chance, will so express itself.

Although the bridal story had been headlined as the most controversial wedding since the Duke of Windsor's, there were only a few onlookers. The Archbishop of Canterbury is England's top Anglican clergyman. He was not at the ceremony, which was performed outside the altar rail and without the formal nuptial mass.
