Princess Irene and Darios wed amid royal boycott in Rome
Princess Irene of the Netherlands married Prince Carlos of Bourbon-Parma in Rome's St Mary Major chapel before a mix of Carlist supporters and nobility, while the Dutch royal family and government did not attend. Irene wept during the ceremony as Franco’s regime offered no representation, and a brief audience with Pope Paul VI was planned later.

Berkshire Voters Align with State in Presidential Primaries
Berkshire County voters mirrored statewide trends in yesterdays presidential primaries. On the Republican ballot they backed Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge 9 to 1 over Goldwater while largely ignoring delegates pledged to Goldwater. Democratic contests were few with observers treating the delegate-at-large lineup as a popularity test. Peabody showed modest support in Berkshire compared with state results, and local party contests drew far less attention than the city committee and state committee races.
