...says, contempt for Britain's fast-growing immigrant population. And ingratitude as well. Al Fayed has invested almost $500 million in Harrods since he bought it in 1984, and he has given generously to British charities.

The city's tabloids rose to the bait, producing three days of buzz about the state of Hizzoner's marriage and alleged philandering before it dawned on them that perhaps the reason no detailed story had appeared earlier was because there wasn't one: the principals weren't talking, and no one else was in a position to really know.
