...impromptu drinks--these are just the sort of Filofax-be-damned encounters royal life does not amply provide.

JOHANNESBURG: Graca Machel may become a first lady for a second time -- and of a second country -- on Saturday.

The estate opened to the public on July 1, her birthday, and will shut its gates until next summer on Aug. 30, the eve of the anniversary of her death. But numbers tell a bit of her brother's story too. With 152,000 tickets sold at $15.70 apiece, the earl will be bringing in nearly $2.4 million. Much of the world is aware...
...lesser sentence of two years because, said Superior Court Judge Henry Ridgely, he pleaded with Grossberg to seek help with the pregnancy. Both defendants could have received 10 years.
