Queen Elizabeth II favors replacing the Tudor crown with the St Edward type as royal insignia. Buckingham Palace says changes would be phased as old items wear out, affecting uniforms, government stationery, store signs, and postal items. The preferred crown shape is noted but no policy change is certain. In New Haven, 575 foreign born residents became American citizens, urged to tell the truth about the country in letters home. Judge Hincks spoke at Yale, stressing that citizens abroad shape views of the U.S. and urged honest communication. A final note adds a tip that thawing frozen meat is quicker with an electric fan.
