...taught, the sun at her back clearly outlining her legs and thighs through a diaphanous skirt. That caused a sensation, but it was only the beginning. Fleet Street's overheated tabloids, used to concocting royal "romances" on the scantiest of evidence-a day at the races with Lady Camilla Fane, a chat at the polo grounds with Secretary Jane Ward-regularly made up quotes and printed rumors. Diana was ambushed by paparazzi while riding in her car and reduced to tears. Finally, a story in the Sunday Mirror alleged that she had been trysting with the Prince...
...Camilla Benbow and Julian Stanley acknowledge that differences in the upbringings of boys and girls as well as their different attitudes toward math are major reasons for the very small number of creative female mathematicians--some experts contend that you can count the number of women doing notable work in mathematics on one hand.

In Weston's lofty view, work at Bass and Marshall is grinding, trivial and dehumanizing, especially when it interferes with Sam's love for another associate, Camilla Newman. The attraction, however, is a mystery. Ms. Newman is profane, nasty and thoroughly obsessed by her job. Her few excursions into sex make Last Tango in Paris seem tender. When she dumps Weston to take up with Lawrence, an associate who wants to make partner the way condemned...
