Los Angeles. A group calling itself Action for Irish Rights brought several pigs to a reception for Princess Margaret in Los Angeles in protest of her alleged remarks in Chicago where she was quoted as saying "Irish Pigs". She said she was misquoted and had said "Irish Jigs" as a euphamism for terrorists. The Princess entered by another door and did not see the protesters
