...paper had time to get in only a relatively brief story and a photo. The headline, moreover, was a discreet single line across three columns (DIANA KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN PARIS), a far cry from the banners that ran in most other big-city newspapers. Granted more time, would the Times have given the story bigger play? Lelyveld, a pale, reserved man who seems to personify the good, gray image of the Times, flashes a half-smile. "Actually," he says, "I might have given it less...

Provocative words for a man whose newspaper was outdone by the Washington Post and others in exploring the events and crosscurrents surrounding the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. But that, in a nutshell, is what makes the New York Times both the most invaluable and, at times, the most infuriating newspaper in the country.

The author's latest is a multigenerational saga about the House of Windsor, promising dirt on everyone from King George V to the late Princess of Wales. The catch--or the break, depending on your point of view--is Diana's accidental death just three weeks before the book's publication date...

...reaction of the press and the public to Princess Diana, before and after her death, is symptomatic of the depths to which our sensibilities have sunk. We put great stock in what people appear to be or project themselves to be, rather than in what they are, even when the two images, the sham and the real, are obviously in conflict. The case of the Princess of Wales may open our eyes. But the fault did not lie with Diana. She was just a normal, healthy young woman, with human desires and all too human failings. The fault lies with...
