A fragment from a New York Times style column riffs on eggs as legal tender, banking design, and odd objects.

A historical column notes Prince Paul Bonaparte in Greek memory and ties to British service, recounting his naval service and the Greek marriage alliance involving Prince George of Greece and Marie Bonaparte.
