morocco\'s king of hearts

Nothing is more appealing to the audience than a handsome bachelor king.
Last night, more than 435 guests attended the State banquet of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, the largest state banquet in the history of the White House.
For a democracy, Americans are sure to go to extremes for the royal family.
Especially the unmarried royal family. Singer-
Dancer Paula Abdul was immediately enthusiastic about the topic.
Because we\'re single--\"\"--Princess Paula!
Her friend Constance Schwartz interrupted her.
The huge and eclectic list of guests includes Hollywood celebrities Terry Garh, Mary Stern Burgan, Ted Denson and Carol Alt, filmmaker Ken Burns, and Helen Thomas, a former White House journalist for the red man. , hani Masri, a Washington businessman, New York hostess Alice Mason, international fundraiser Esther Coopersmith and law professor Alan DE Shaw.
For most people, this is the first 36-year-
The old king has officially visited the United States for the first time since he became president last year.
His father Hassan II died on last July at the age of 38. year reign.
Muhammad is considered a more modern and fashionable King.
Last night, for example, he chose a tuxedo instead of a traditional Arabic robe.
He speaks Arabic, English, French and Spanish and has published doctoral papers on the EU.
When he does not rule the country and does not attend a state banquet, he likes to play golf, water motorcycles and cars.

Ambassador to Morocco
When the King visited his country, the girls lined up to see the most eligible bachelors in the Middle East.
However, those who wish to attract his attention may be unlucky.
International reports suggest the king is married in secret. (
Embassy officials only said he was not officially married. )
His sister, Princess Lala Mayem, was with him last night.
\"I believe his prospects are not lacking,\" said William Kennedy Smith . \".
But the King came on a business trip.
Although his father is known for his harsh rule and peace --
Mohammed VI has called for a more open government to release political prisoners, promote the advancement of women and help the poor.
The king used the visit to attract the United States. S.
His country has an unemployment rate of 20%.
Most of his young subjects-
70% of Morocco\'s population is under 30-
Muhammad seems to appreciate his modern transformation, but he faces deep-rooted opposition from old guards and Islamic fundamentalists.
Prince Bandar bin Sultan, Saudi Arabia\'s ambassador to the United States, said: \"It is always difficult to get to the throne after a great and famous king . \".
\"I know his father very well, and I was impressed by this young king.
I think he made a very brave decision.
He surprised his friends and enemies.
He\'s my king.
President Clinton also made it clear last night that he was a fan.
\"No foreign guest deserves a warm welcome here more than King Mohammed,\" Clinton said in a toast . \".
Clinton announced a scholarship to honor King Hassan, a Moroccan student studying in the United States.
\"I am willing to increase my ability and energy for you,\" Mohammed replied . \".
He asked everyone to stand up and wish the United States \"all the best\" in promoting world peace \".
But there\'s enough material.
At the same time as the king chose western costumes, these women became the fashion focus in traditional dresses.
Muhammad\'s gift to Hillary Clinton was five Takchita dresses.
The first lady picked a golden lace for the dinner.
Princess Lala is dressed in a similar dress with gorgeous rubies on it. and-
Diamond necklace.
Janet lonhart Cohen wore a bright green dress and golden earrings she bought during her recent visit to Marrakech.
In honor of the King, Janet Ginsberg selected a red and gold crystal handbag created by Beverly Hills designer Catherine Bowman in the shape of the following-what else? --a crown.
Chelsea Clinton, dressed in a lavender dress, slipped downstairs to greet friends at the end of the line.
The line lasted less than an hour. -
Clinton\'s record of hugs and mugs-
But the president was given strict instructions not to have a long chat with any of the hundreds of guests.
During the last days of his administration, the guest list was added, but faced the problem of shorter time.
To accommodate many visitors, dinner is served in a huge tent on the South Lawn.
Champagne tent filled with lightand deep-
Pink roses on the green tablecloth.
Guests can enjoy grilled salmon with pepper, lamb with garlic, egg tart with goat milk and Moroccan oasis. -

At the request of Muhammad, evening entertainment is provided by the soul
Earth, Wind and Fire funk group. Co-
Founder Maurice White retired for the show.
Task: hit the maximum number of hits in this group.
Therefore, the voices of \"Shining Stars\", \"This is the way of the world\" and \"Phuket wonderland\" were heard in the tent.
Aren\'t they great?
Clinton asked the audience after the show, referring to the original band members, many of whom were his own age.
\"I was thinking that if a grandfather could do that, maybe there would be life after politics.
But Paula Abdul felt a little left out.
\"You should go there,\" a fan told dancers and former Lakers girls . \".
\"Next time, you won\'t stop me from jumping on that stage,\" she replied, bouncing back the train in her pink gown.
\"However, this dress is not worn.
