        Queen Elizabeth II Visits New York City

        Waiting for the queen to speak, it was nice to see the English ladies in their wide, flowered bonnets, as if they were at a Royal Garden party, sitting demurely in the U.N. General Assembly where we are used to seeing the mouth-frothers. The queen herself, walked slowly down the long aisle to applause that petered out too soon before she reached the embrace of the easy chair by the rostrum. She looked vulnerable in her pale green dress under that cavernous arching roof below the chairman's raised dais ,but sat composed enough, waiting for the rather sweet introductions to end. What she said as "queen of 54 Commonwealth nations" was in good clear English—it is the queen's English, isn't it?—but the striking thing was the bell-like clarity of her enunciation, no different to my mind from the voice of the young queen at her coronation. It was not a speech of high-flown rhetoric or emotion. She was mercifully brief but to the point in asking the U.N. to live up to ideals in dealing with some of the ills she has been on her decades of travel.
